Actually, you will find a ton of pictures and discussions in the gallery and in the forums on doing exactly that... (putting an outboard on an I/O) Many people here have done it. Basically you seal up your transom, install a bracket on it, then hang the engine off the bracket... it's a huge advantage over an I/O in a lot of peoples minds.
As to the worth of the boat... the simple answer is that it's worth what someone is willing to pay, just like anything else for sale. The better the product, the more the cost. In the last year I've seen V20's going for $14,000 down to $100. The difference is the condition of the boat.
And remember, when you sell a boat, the engine and the trailer help determine to a large part the money you can get for the boat. So if you're fixing up the boat just to sell it, don't skimp on the other parts.
Welcome to the site BTW. (And just to let you know, pound for pound, foot for foot, in it's class.. the V20 steplift is one of the finest boat hulls ever made. Hold onto it if you can.. you can thank us later)
