Thinking about buying a '71 V20, looking for tips

[macojoe]

Well, I just called the boatyard about the V20 I was looking at online. The reason the boat is being sold without the motor is because the motor is locked up. I hope they pull it if I decide to buy the boat. The guy on the phone said the boat was "way over powered". I don't know if I agree with him, but I'm sure I could get away with less than a 150 if I want to.

Well hope that the motor is on there when you go check it out!! It will be good to be able to move it up and down to see how the transomm is!!

150 hp is over powered for a V20?? This guy has no F#$K idea wf=hat he is saying!!

150 IMO is the smallest you want to go on these boats!! it is the perfect match!!

I have a 175, I was looking for a 150 and came across this for a good deal and bought it.

There are guys here that have 200!! And even twin 140's!

But thats a good thing, that he no's not what he says!! Maybe he will sell real cheap!!

Good Luck!!
