I think the OP bought the wrong boat.

The V20 is a great/versatile hull.We love ours. But it sound like you should be in a 23 Formula or similar. I think you are trying to make this boat something it is not.

Good luck, be careful
There’s plenty of guys on this very sight that have done this conversion.

The OP was proposing a 36" bracket with a 200 hp engine hanging off it.

Who else has done that?

The Steplifts that came with an OE bracket had a small 4 cyl (135 hp?) and I am pretty sure it wasn't a 3' lg extension.

I would not do what the OP proposed...but that's me.

Be safe, Bill

It was a typo, like I stated it should have been 26 not 36.

I like your boat Twisted, good friend of mine has the same in pretty much barn find condition. If set up and done right it will be sweet.
