Personally I think it is a match made in heaven for a V-20. They normally dyno around 160HP to the prop, and are fairly lightweight for a 4 cylinder 4 stroke. You will probably need a differrent prop for it though.

Hope the above link helps you w/prop choice...when i went to a 150 Honda back in '04, I had help from a Honda Factory Tech...wound up w/a 15 1/4D X 17P 3 Blade made for Honda by Power Tech Props...and I believe you should be looking in that spec range on yours...

ONE THING yer gonna notice about this re-power is vibration...as in the LACK OF IT...ya don't really notice it til it's gone...will never forget it...felt like I had stepped into a NEW BOAT...

Take the camera w/you when you splash the new power cuz we wanna see...we wanna see!!...

You can do the install, but do not start it yourself. Make certain that a CERTIFIED YAMAHA dealer does teh PDI and first start if you want it to have a warranty. And if the dealer your dealing with is ED's then I believe they got in trouble for selling engines and not performing the PDI's there.

That does not sound like fun at all. I am afraid if i just bought a new motor i would find someway to be the first one to start it. Even if i have to super glue the key to my hand.
