60hp gale on a v20?
Hello all.I just purchased a 1978 v20 sunrider for $200 with a trailer.The only outboard I have is a 1963 gale-oms 60hp 4 cyl 2 stroke.I understand the engine is a bit old and small for this size of boat.I only plan on putting around on lake st clair here in michigan.Will this be ok to do?Thanks in advance and I am so happy to have located this v20 club!-Alex

Well, for trolling speed probably ok, but faster may cause the engine to " lug " ....meaning pushing the boat at below hull planning speed which is " pushing through the water " rather than skimming across the water. Result - it could kill the engine, especially over time.
Better to find a used 130 hp or bigger and then be ok with it.

60 hp plus being very old, it should push your boat but I don't think you will be very happy with it but the good side is you don't have to slow down in a no wake zone.
