Default all honesty needed! mercury(yamaha) 90hp 4 stroke performance

Would you guys put this motor on your v20? My boat will be fished with very little weight most of the time. What kind of numbers would i get? Should i be patient and find another motor? This a pretty good deal on this one.

you'll wish you had 2 of them.

I think 115 is the lowest you get away with.

Theres a few who have 90's on there V's. It will NOT be a speed demon, and most likely have to be pushed pretty hard to just plane out level, but would do it. Propping would be the touchy part since you would be so close to the minumum HP the hull needs to run. Personally I would hold out for a 115 or bigger, but 140+ would be best.

Hold out for bigger. You don't want to go through the expense of buying and the trouble of hanging and rigging to find out it sucks. Ferm is right on the 140 or bigger. I love my 150 for the effiency, but if I did it again I'd save up for a 200 for more speed. I run pretty much lightly loaded as well.
