Surfer, I used to fish w/a guy had one of those motors on an aluminum 20' Sylvan...light weight boat w/out much deadrise...it would FLY!!...compared to the Black Max he had on there prior, it got much better gas mileage...it'll be an excellent power selection for a V20 also...should top out about 40 -43 mph at WOT and light load w/a 15-15 1/2" x 17 pitch prop...a Mercury Mirage Plus will be an excellent choice...expensive new, but you should be able to find one around used but in good shape...try to get a compression check on that motor before you buy it...let us know how it goes...
