I went with 115hp yamaha. I had a new 1975 and a 115 evinrude which moved the boat along very well. I also just found out that the previous owner had the boat shrink wrapped for winter the last 10 years. The surveyor was surprised about how solid the transom & deck is in tiptop shape. Thanks for all the replies.

Guy near me runs a 115 Yamaha 4S on a V20. Says it does alright, not a speed demon, about 30 wide open. He runs offshore a lot with it. Another guy I know works at Skidaway Oceanographic Institute where they run some Yamahas. He just started doing maintainence for them and says they beat the hell out of everything they own, but the Yamahas never fail them. Says he thinks he did the first oil change on one that had 1500 hours according to the maintainence logs. Says the oil was pitch black. Who knows.

115 should be ok but given a choice always go bigger 200 is the max for that boat I think but a 150 is the way to go, I have a ,150 merc 2 stroke on mine, she's old but runs great with a 15x 17 inch prop. The only problem I'm having is the tilt and tril. If you check my posts you will see that , my son has a 150 4 stoke yammy and he's really not happy with it no hole shot. Good luck.

My opinion for the wellcraft v 20. Is this. 2 stroke 150 turning a 15 x 17 inch prop. Perfect together. Mercury of course.

30 mph wide open is not too bad, but when racing back to the dock to beat a storm, 40 mph is better.
But I am sure you will have many fun days on the water with the 115. Congrats on the new motor!
