Well, I ended up buying BigShrimps 225 evinrude from him. I can't wait to get it all going, but I do have a question. On my '89 V20, origionally there was a '90 115 Evinrude motor. What I think happened was that the boat dealership had the boat and motor left over, put it together and sold it at a discounted price. I think this because I know the origional owner and he bought the boat new in June of '91. The 115 is a 20" shaft it ran good on the boat but would cavitate in real tight turns. The 225 is a 25" shaft and I need some help knowing for sure if I have to cut out and raise the transom. Anyone know exact measurements for a 20" or 25" transom on a V? I have measured it in the past but if I remember right the numbers were somewhere in between. Anyways, it was great to meet someone from this forum. Tim's a great guy and I wish him the best on his long roady he's got ahead of him.
Bought the new(to me) motor!
