hi just wondering if there is such a thing as a ring 20??

No, it's just an imaginary notion like free speech or Godzilla.

Yes !! Mike should be able to provide the finer detail !! I seem to remember a rather quick stepped one that was not very resiliiant to the traffic on the A38 and maybe a purple one with a built in transom set back !!

I'm owning this boat ... last year I did waterskiracing with her ... Team 125 from belgium ... Now I do a rib with the hull ... deck & floor was too damaged...

Hi congratulations on your purchase. Do you know how old the engine is and if its a 2.4 or 2.5 200hp? I ask because on my R20 is a 2.4 Mariner and could only reach 55mph but that was with a 5 blade prop. So wondering what you are expecting to get out of yours.

Nice looking hull...

What 's the gel coat like ?

IMHO the cobalt blue/yellow screen was one of the nicest schemes Mr Ring
has done....(Well that and the Black/Red Screen.)

I always thought there were more done like that but I rarely see them come for sale.

Good luck with your new toy.

stevie · 24-05-2010, 04:14 PM

I think this is a 20 as well... not a 21 as the add anounces.

I would say the last one is a gill bracket 21 (21c I think).

Hard to tell though from the photos.

Also thought the last 21 was the 21e like Matt on here has or had.

speedyboy99 · 25-05-2010, 08:38 AM

it has 20c under the bow. its got 20c 22 11 89 witch i guess is when it was made. it has the gill bracket and sun deck. needs back seats tho. its all gel and not painted, witch is in good con. just going to give it a good polish and wax. engine is 2.4 but putting my 2.5 on. going to run it with 23p don't think the 27p will run to the max like on my r16. i,m hoping to hit over 70mph.

Sorry lads - think the green boat in link is a R20( maybe a B) with motor just set back.

Think you will struggle to get over 70mph. But will be interesting to see what you do get out of that set up. The more experienced on here will be able to give you a better idea of what speed your likely to get.

speedyboy99 · 25-05-2010, 01:48 PM

yeah but the engine isn't standard, i've been told its more like 240-250hp. i really know nothing at all about boats and any thing with bolts. got a really good guy sorting it out for me, big thank you to maz928. only really started getting in to boats just recently.
