V-17

[THEFERMANATOR]

A 115 crossflow(roughly 315 lbs for a 20" shaft) engine would cut about 70 pounds off the transom vs that 120 looper(close to 390 for a 25" shaft). For that size boat I wouldn't keep that 120 on it, they are just too heavy. The 120/140 weighs almost as much as the old style 150 V-6's, but they have just about as much torque as well to em. A 115 would be a MUCH better match to that hull. The only downside is that the earlier crossflow engines do use more fuel. I would think a 90 YAMAHA would be an ideal match to that hull personally. Lightweight and fuel efficient, and with the right prop would probably perform well. For the money though, you could probably sell that 120 and buy a 115 and come out with MORE money in your pocket as the 25" shaft V-4's are on the rare side and normally fetch a bit more money. I would also say put you a fuel tank inside the console and try and put your batteries under the front deck. This would make the boat ride generally better with that heavy engine on it.
