thanks booch

mainly the dealer support for the merc is the best in my area. have a friend who repowered with the merc 4s on a 20 dusky (hull very similar to v20) and loves it. claims to get 4-4.5 mpg. while i got 2.5. i average 85 hours a year @ 12 gph =1020 gallons a year. if i could cut that in half, save 500 gallons @ $4.00, that's 2 grand a year saved on fuel.

also, i like to diy all i can on my stuff and the merc is the simplest system out there.
