You're correct, 20" is the norm for a V20. But when they made the V21 they basically added a built in bracket on the stern, and for a V21 the norm is 25"...which makes me a few hundred dollars poorer since I'll either have to convert my 20" Merc to a 25" or add a jack plate to lower the Merc. Either way it's gonna cost a few sheckles.. I'm kinda leaning towards converting it since I have to change the impeller for routine maintenance anyways. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter? Anyone have a 25" lower end for a 1991 Merc 200?
