I personally have not run it with the current Merc75 (I am sort of affraid of the engine

) but the gentleman I purchased it from sad it ran the boat fine, upto 30mph on his GPS. So, since I am not looking to win any races, just be able to power out the the hole and back I figured the 90 would do OK?
The V was sold because I was almost stuck in a bad place financially, but every thing worked its way out so know I am looking to put my self back in a bad place??? 
Yes, I did get a 11ft wood skiff last year that I cleaned up and got a nicve 4hp Jouhnson for. I might sell it, but I am not sure.
Its turning into a pain in the A$$$$ to find some one to finance only $10,000.00, every one has a $25,000.00 min....
