I/O Conversion
New to the V20 site. Own a 1985 v20 with original 170 mercruiser. Purchased from original owner 4 years ago. Still runs well but want to convert to outboard at some point. The expense of keeping the old I/O going seems to be about $500 to $1,000 per year. Always some problem. My local shop doesn't like the idea. Balance issues, expense etc. Thinks I should put a new mercruiser MPI 220 hp in. Any thoughts or experience with a conversion.

Re: I/O Conversion
Welcome to the site. You just hit on Macojoes favorite subject. Do a search on conversions here and you'll find a lot of info. The boat will handle it despite what your local shop says.
