whats the smallest outboard you would put on a v20

[bgreene]

Super reputable used motor dealer in my experience - ARG Marine, florida, ask for Victor.

I searched a lllllllong time before finding and buying from them, shipped the motor in a proper crate, warrantied, addressed all my questions in writing, all good.

Way too may questionable used motors out there, especially older one's without hour meter so you have no idea how old/ used/ tired.

Another good way is from outboard motor dealers who get them on trade.

Good luck, and .......... I'd go with 150 hp. Motor will work less hard too.

My boat a 86, It was a merc 150 carb now a left over new 175 with a lot of xtra power. Cruising is effortless. Also hydro assist steering was worth the investment during the new rigging.

Here a link to a guy selling one with a 40 hp evinrude! I guess you could ask him for some "performance" numbers

40 hp on a V ? I like it !

How about triple old 18 hp outboards ?

Or the new 557 hp outboard.

I feel a 90 especially if 4 stroke will be too small. I am using a 2013 Mercury 150hp 4 stroke and very happy. Trim tabs improved handing of the extra weight of 4 stroke as well . I guy in my marina has a dual console V 20 sport and has an older 175 Evinrude ... With a 90 you will be pushing that engine hard
