Max HP on a V20
My friends might be needing a new motor for their 86 V20. Right now they have a Johnson 150, but with the weight of the 4 strokes, what's the max HP they can put on the boat. I told them I thought a 150 just might be a bit too much, because of the weight.
Thanks

probably closest match to what they have is the 150 optimax. not sure how much longer they are going to be around.
I went from a 94 150 mariner to a Merc 150 4S. bout 55 lbs heavier. could not really tell any difference

150 4 s from Suzuki,Yamaha or Mercury would be perfect.
A zuki 140 will do fine too and save some $

Max rated hp was 235hp. Weight wise, back in 86 a 235hp outboard weighed about 375lbs iirc(what's funny is a 225hp weighed 450lbs, 235 was a wimpy flywheel rating, the 225 was propshaft rated). I would do my best to stay under 500lbs engine weight, and get as much hp you could under 500 lbs.
