It's not a V-20

I had a 9.9 yamaha 4 stroke on a 24 grady as the kicker. It worked better than a 25 hp 2 stroke on my v20. Check out the 4 strokes designed as kickers unless you have a big 2 stroke just laying around. Mine had a stainless linkage connecteing the kicker to the main motor that worked well too. You really don't want to hand steer a kicker from the motor well for 5 hours....been there and never want to do it again.

Nice boat!

I agree. The 20' was a dog. Very well built boat,...heavy too. Congrats.
