BS are you sure they rated at the prop in 1985? I had a 185 Evinrude on my first V20 (1985) and it was rated at the powerhead. Either way, I agree with you, gas is alot cheaper than an engine update. The 235 hp might drink gas, however they were hard to destroy. Also, if the trailer is sound, use it. You'll find it's alot easier than a tandem at the ramp.
