you are buying back your ride. be sure before you commit to look at the hull and stringers. it can get expense when you dont do any of this work yourself.i know its a hard call when you already have owned a v 20 and witnessed the performance of a awesome rig. [for its size]. good luck in your choice.

you should also check with Marine Power in Farmingdale NJ. They usually have good deals. Mercruiser also offers certified pre owned motors through dealers. I could check price and availability for you if you want. Do you just need an engine or do you want to replace the engine,transom, and drive?

Have you considered rebuilding your motor or getting a rebuilt longblock. Mercruiser and Jasper sells good rebuilt longblocks!

I personally would have the gimble rebuilt with new bellows and such, install a new SEI outdrive, and find a rebuilt 3.7L 4 cylinder for it if it was my boat, but I wrench on my own so that changes things. I don't there is a better engine option out there than the old 3.7L 4 banger that MERCRUISER offerred for a V-20.
