Sorry about your dad, know the feeling as I lost mine 9 years ago. As for the YAMAHA 250, it is too heavy and way out of it's element for a V-20. The 76 degree YAMAHA's are best suited for pushing heavy loads as they drink as much fuel as the old OMC V-8's did, but make almost as much torque as they did. For a bracketed boat in teh 200HP range, you won't find a much better match than the older 2.5L MERCURY. They had a long production run, parts are easy to find, pretty reliable once you removed the oil injection, and they are easy to work on if you find a carbed engine.
