I would be curious to hear what robert 644 says (even though he will have a lot more weight on his V), but I think it is under-powered. You could probably get it planing, but it would take a while. I had a 90 hp V4 Evinrude that pushed a 17 1/2 foot Speedliner like a scalded dog, but that boat was very light compared to a V20. If it is a nice boat you can always sell/swap the motor and get a bigger one. Most here think a 150 h.p. outboard is ideal.
