If you have to remove or replace the motor, go ahead and add a hydraulic jack plate.
The engine will be a couple of inches higher out the water than present and you will gain a 5" capability at idle speed in shallow water.

I think the perfect motor for a V-20 is a 140 Johnson/Suzuki 4 stroke. Mine tops out @ 40 mph and gets 5 mpg when you run 20-25 mph.

If you can afford one, RM speaks truth. Not going to set the water on fire, but you can't deny his EXCELLENT milage.
