Garbubba, you are correct in that some of the v-4 Johnsons are loopers. Just not these and at 315 lb a piece this would be one of the heavier motor packages I have ever seen rigged to a V-20 transom. To only achieve a combined hp rating of around 200 hp at the prop shafts. If it would hold the weight of those two it would hold nearly any size single in a 4-stroke up to 300 hp. Or a lightweight 300. The crossflows are tough just very thirsty, I have a 90 horse and I swear it gets worse mileage than the 250 Opti does on a larger boat.
