Hi and welcome to the forums...Congrats on the new boat. Measure from the top of the transom where the engine sits to the bottom keel of the boat. That distance is what your engine is. (I think, and I may be wrong) that all V20's are set for 20" engines, unless there is a jackplate on the transom or unless the transom has been raised.

You're correct, a 150 is the engine of choice for these boats, BUT 200's and 225's are not unheard of. In fact, there are several members here that run them on their boats, including this writer. Get what you can afford. and remember... We love to see projects...it gives us all ideas, and at the same time we can give advice easier.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
