Great input.. thanks everyone... BGA.. glad your setup worked out so well..

This may prompt me to use a 200 instead of a 150.. along with a flotation bracket..

Yes, in answer to a couple of questions, my "New" V-20 is a cuddy cabin... with a 1.6 Sea Drive..

The boat is in super shape, one owner, garage kept.. been sitting without running the last 4 years, but she will get used now.... ;D

I will take some pictures after this little hurricane decides which way it is going.. Mexico I hope.... as I am 25 miles from Matagorda Bay.....Got everything battened down for now....

Thanks again everyone....
