Hammer, two different boats are in my gallery. One is the '73. There are a couple before pix that show it with twin Johnson 140hp motors. Previous owner added the twins and she was never splashed (thank goodness).

I bought it and removed the 2 25" johnsons, bought a fixed jackplate and put a single Johnson 140 on. That worked for a short while until I found out the transom on the '73 had some shoddy work done on it prior to my owning it so I pulled the motor and had the transom fixed. At that point I was going to repower with a new motor when suddenly the 1994 V-21 came up for sale on this board/eBay and I finagled a deal with the owner that neither of us could refuse. I took the 1994 yamaha 150 off, which came on the boat, and repowered the 94 V-21 with a brand new Yamaha 150 (04 model).

I need two galleries really but haven't had the time to mess with it.

To answer your questions, Skools (member here) bought my twin 140 Johnsons.

About the 20" motor. If you have a 25" transom, get a 25" motor. Its 5" higher from taking on water. Everyone would agree, the higher the better. Most on here prefer a full transom, while a 20" on a V20 is nothing to snuff your nose at either if you're a little more careful.

You'd have to do something crazy to your transom to add a 20", like cut it or add a bracket or jackplate or something.
