Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
Well, I did it! Just got fed up with the whole deal. Bought another 1988 V20 with a 200 hp Mariner on it. The boat is in awesome condition - original decals, nice gel coat, no paint. I am taking the stuff off the Bone Crusher and putting it all on the new boat (Ttop, windlass, electronics etc). Just ordered a 2007 Evinrude E-TEC 200 hp motor for it. That engine weighs almost 200 lbs less than the Honda (427 vs 610). I'm psyched - will let you know how it goes. Also ordered 2 Optima 34 batteries for it. Going to install them in the center console.
Having the motor installed January 15th.
Wish me luck.
