|  NEW to V20's 
			
			I just recently bought a 1973 V20 with a 1989 Evinrude 120 VRO, and a '85 EZ Loader double axle trailer.  Hopefully it will turn out to be a wise investment, the motor is partially disassembled, why I don't know, neither does the current owner, he acquired it as payoff to a debt and know's nothing about boats.

			Hi.  Welcome to the site.  Most, if not all, your Wellcraft questions will be answered here.....  (maybe not correctly, but answered)....  Seriously though, there are some pretty smart people here with tons of experience with these boats. Anything from a 140 - 200 hp is a good sized engine for these boats, so you should be be fine with the engine you have, as long as it's ok. Cheers...

			Skool, yes I do have the lower unit.   Like I said It is completely torn apart right now, why I am not sure.  It looks like someone just started taking things apart and didn't know when to stop.  it will be Sunday before I can get additional photos.

 While you got the lower unit off, go ahead and replace all water pump components..ALL of 'em...and make sure that new rubber impeller gets twisted in right...
