If this checks out right, it could be an option you may want to consider also..

Good find, Mack. Just not sure about driving 2.5 hrs to inspect I motor when I know very little except how to check compression & look for corrosion. Does look like a 20", though. He probably only ran that boat in fresh water, too.

To much money for that engine in my opinion. It's a 21 year old 2 stroke bass boat engine that has probably been screamed on every day of it's life. Plus that is the same engine as the old 235 basically that EARNED the name 2 thirsty 5 for it's unbelievable ability to gulp fuel like a toilet.

Found this in Jupiter on Ebay. Ferm, would you pretty much feel the same on this as you did the 1990?

That one there is a GOOD engine, and if it checks out I wouldn't hesitate to jump on it(but I think his price is on the high end, $1500 sounds more like where it should be). If you're looking for an old school 2 stroker with carbs, I would look at the 135/150 MERCURY 2.0L, YAMAHA 150/175's, JOHNSON/EVINRUDE 150/175 60 degree loopers, and the JOHNSON/EVINRUDE 130/140 90 degree loopers. Parts for teh JOHNSON/EVINRUDES do tend to be cheaper and widely available followed by MERCURY and then YAMAHA. The MERCURY 2.0L is an excellent engine, and I believe is a perfect match for a V-20 if your not out ot set nay speed records. If you want to set the water on fire though, a 2.5L MERCURY 200HP or even the 3.0L MERCURY would do just that. And the 200/225 JOHNSON/EVINRUDE 90 degree loopers will also get a V-20 going in a hurry as well.
