Pescador...150 is a perfect motor for a V-20 ...It'll top out around 40 mph and cruise at 30...2-stroke will be good outta the hole; 4-stroke a little slower...what ya have in mind?...

In my opinion a 150 is plenty for a v20 but I run in the ocean..If you are pulling skiers etc with a heavy load then it might not be. It all depends on what you use it for and how fast you need to go..Frank

Good call, Frank...pullin' skiers stay w/ 2-stroke for better hole-shot ;) ...

Eveyone keeps saying a 4 stroke wont get outta the hole but mine will throw you in the pond when I punch it if you are not holding on.

Could be my light boat.

The new 4 strokes have plenty out of the hole pull

...maybe yours does, but mine is sluggish pullin' a slalom skier out of a deep-water start...on the other hand, mine is propped for upper-end cruising and usually the boat is loaded w/ teenagers, coolers and stuff when tryin' to get that skier up :D ...

I would say 150 would be plenty. Mine with the 1.6L sea-drive(115HP at the flywheel, around 100HP at the prop) performed alright. Not a speed demon, but will cruise in the mid-20's easily.

150 is fine, but unless you like to go slow it is the min I would put!

Maybe you should get you a pullin prop for ski day, doesn't hurt to have a spare anyway.
