  1. Chapparal deck...speed depends on the power.  300 or better hp will get you 50-60mph.  a 5.7 MPI can do that easily.  383 MAG can do it easier.


  2. The deck boat has a wider, more open bow section to accommodate more people.  I have a 20' Tahoe deck boat that comfortable seats 8.  220hp MPI V6 tops out at about 48 mph.  You gain about 1-2 mph with each 20 hp you add. Shop around before you buy. If you want a "do it all boat" with exceptional quality, check Starcraft marine or Godfrey marine (Hurricane)  less expensive deck boats with great reputations and features are Tahoe, Bayliner, Glastron.  Don't forget that buying from a good dealer that is capable of providing you service needs is a huge part of the buying decision.

  3. Depends on power plant!

  4. I would recommend the Crownline 8' Dingy. I have triple 300 Merc's on mine and it will do about 15 knots with 25 people on board.

  5. 8 -10 people on a 21 foot boat is probably overloaded and dangerous.speed depends on motor size
