Thanks for all the info guys. I just got price for 5" extention kit from Bay Mfg in Ohio $510. So I guess Ill put some time into seeing what the motor needs to run. It looks to be a freshwater motor and the lower is holding pressure. It'll be 4 weeks till the kit is avail, so until then i will seee what she needs. Glad yall have experience with this older stuff, although it is simple technology it seem that it may be finiky when not tuned perfect.
Again, this is just a temporary prop spinner till money is coming in. I just figure I put it to use since its taking up space in the garage.

$510 is a lot of money to spend on a $500 motor.

I would try looking over on Scream and Fly to see if you can come up with a used kit or a 25 inch mid unit...they do a lot of that sort of swapping around over there...and they all want 20" and 15" stuff so they get rid of 25" stuff cheep.

I had a 1984 115 Merc on a 19 ft CC years ago, it would do 43 mph, it was very similar in weight to the V20.

Just got my PC fixed and see you asking about a 77 mrec 1500 for a 77 V.I have the same combo and it does great .I also had to change the wire harness and found I had to change out the switch box and the trigger assembly also .Those parts are no longer available.But they can be found out there. Good luck with the project
