Just wanted to post that yesterday I purchased the V-20 that I had asked for help with in the For-Sale string. :)
Someone has stolen the Johnson engine cowling and the seller was able to get a used Evinrude hood so I am looking for a decent used Johnson to put back on..(over 600 bucks to order a new one!)
Anyway most of my restoration will be cosmetic. MJ after reading about your outboard conversion I was curious if the Stainless Corp. bracket on mine had been modified or shimmed but luckily it came off another V-20 and was made specifically for this rig.
Just waiting for sunny weather and I will start getting her ship-shape.
