Thanks Skools, Macojoe, Vpearch and Randlemanboater. Great advice. I checked out Skools suggestion and he's right. There is a ton of information out there. Randlemanboater, too late to purchase an OB right now maybe later. This was a question that I probably should have asked before now. I just purchased my first V20 (1983). It was completely restored with new custom tank (60 gal.), new fabrics, hardware, through transom drains, and a complete rebuilt outdrive and Mercuriser 170hp with 5 hours. The thing I kept looking at was the height of the transom. The tall transom gives a sense of security. And since I have experience with my current Volvo-SP1 I/O on a 19' Infinity, I figured I would stick with what I knew. I was hoping I made the right choice. If not I'll talk to Skools abouth doing a conversion and hanging a bracket on her and mount a Johnson OB. Again, thanks for everyone's advice and suggestions.
