-Morgan from Sutphen Powerboats spent the afternoon up here in Maine for an upcoming boat test.

Man, what an impressive little boat! How about 83.6 mph on gps with a bone stock 496 HO!

Very well made, handles incredible. Feels like a mini Gladiator.

Here's a few pics.

Have you ever driven any other 20ft go-fast like cig, apache, donzi, etc? If so, which one and how did it compare?

Lookin good! I've had a chance to run that boat and its awesome!!

really nice looker

I had a 496 MAG HO and 280-S K-planes in my 22' Scarab, which was only a 19' running surface and the 21 Sutphen feels and handles like a much bigger boat. Look for a full evaluation in the next couple of days at www.ericcolby.com.

First I will say that is a very nice little boat. Having sold many 20 Baja Outlaws and Checkmates, the 20' Performance boats are a blast. I only had the pleasure with 350 300hp versions, I can only imagine what the midrange pul must have been with a 496HO. My only concern would be the price, merc just loves their mark up on big blocks, even more on blue motors.

That is impressive.

I have a 21 CHallenger and have spent some time crawling around a new Sutphen..i dig em

Morgan and the guys are really doing it right!! Congrats and I wish them well.

Morgan - Dont forget to let me know what you guys need for gauges, rigging etc...I will set you up!

The craftsmanship, quality and pride really shows thru on this one. It's gorgeous and set up right !
It flew straight and level on some pretty rough waters on Winni with all the Donzi's on Sat..
Morgans a great guy and would be great to deal with on buying one.
Anybody considering downsizing or buying a great Sportboat give him a shout. I hope to see you w/ family at the Fall Donzi picnic Morgan also.
