Hello
Hello,
I found this site while looking for info on a 1983 v20. I just bought her this weekend. It is a step down in size from the boat I just sold. I had a 28' Baha.but, with the price of fuel it became to costly to operate. My v20 has the 470 in her. (170 hp).She also has a Honda 9.9 4 stroke for trolling. The 9.9 is just 2 yrs old. She is good shape and ready the water, other than a fresh coat of bottom paint. I am her fourth owner.I will use her mostly on Lake Erie in Ohio. I have seen other V20's on Erie and have been impressed by the way they handle short chop Erie is known for. I will post pics of her when I get her home. Can anyone tell what the GPH is with a 470 and what are the power options if the 470 should take a puke? Dave

Re: Hello
Welcome Aboard Diver! Glad to have you.
If the I/O pukes and dies, the popular choice is to plug the hole and hang an outboard on a bracket!

Re: Hello
If it take a puke get on the radio and give Mac Attack a shout. I'm on the Noth Shore of the western basin. Welcome to the site. Go bracket with an E-Tec. Billy Mac ;D

Re: Hello
Welcome diverdave, I'd put in a 383 stroker with a super charger and headers that come out the top of the engine hatch.

Re: Hello
Welcome, Dave! I don't know much about I/O's, but I have heard that V-20s are popular on Erie. Best of luck with your '83 (it was a very good year ;) ).

Re: Hello
Welcome to the mayhem of V-20.com... ;D ...there's lots of great info here ... as you've already seen, the popular opinion is add bracket and outboard when the I/O gives up ... but you'll have to make your own decision there...does your "V" have trim tabs?...they will be helpful in sticking the sharp bow into the chop for a better ride from your "V"...I'm trying to procure a set now...
Good luck and post some pix when ya can... ;) ...
