its not the first one i have ever saw, they made a few!!

Garagenc and a few others here have factory V-8 V-20's.

Yea that's a V 20 with a V8. Mine's a 91 and the engine cover looks exactly the same.
I "think" the ones with a 4 or 6 cyl had a different motor cover than the V8's. Mine's a 350 (5.7L).

Great fuel economy.

Yes Sir mine is a factory installed mercruiser 350 1986 V-20. If you care to look at the center picture under Performance thread page 8, title of [25 year old mercruiser survives salt water]you will see the factory set up.

Those are the rod holders on my CC !

What you can see of the motor cover in the Craigslist ad and the engine compartment in Steps pictures all looks the same as the '89 with the 3.7l 4 cylinder I used to have. There was alot more room under there with the 4 cylinder though.

I/O's are probably the best way to rig a V for speed - more horsepower for more speed.

A 60 mph V should be reasonably easy to achieve. There was a guy hitting a reported 70mph with one........

I love I/O but no one that I know of has bolted on twin Yammies at 300 hp each.Even 250hp twins will smoke a I/O. Now let me tell you I love UBHistory boat name and his great job he did with his 350I/O. but he even admitted to me that he is pushing 500hp plus. AWESOME. But i know if anyone would install twin 300hp outboards they should name their boat COLOR ME GONE.
By the way with my aluminum hardtop and enclosure with a fill 60gallons of gas and all fishing gear along with three people on board loaded to the top I reach a top speed of around 38 mph. Never tried it stripped down! :oh:
