My dad has a 225 o/b Honda on a 25' welded aluminum. It's dry wieght is 2700 Lbs the motor is around 700 (heavy *****). He plowed through a 7-9' sea then run on it trolling for 6 hours and then came home on a 3' sea at the pumps all he put in was 98L. In three day's out this year my smallest fuel comsumption was 190L. When I start his boat got to walk to the back and check if the water is circulating to make sure it's running Very quiet motor lot's of torque.

The 225 HONDA is to heavy for a V-20. The smaller 4 cylinder 4 strokes are ok, but the big V-6's are just to heavy for most situations(like having an extra person sitting on your outboard all the time).
