Default Re: New Motor

115/130 Etec or a 115/140 suzuki four stroke is what I'd pick if I was buying a new motor for a 20 seacraft. If you are buying used . . . any 2.0L or 2.5L merc, OMC v-4 90 - 140, OMC 150/175 60 degree, yamaha 115/130 or 2.6L 150 Carb or EFI. Not sure where you are located, but the boats run great at 18 - 25mph in most conditions here in NE. Rarely can you cruise at 30+mph or take advantage of the power higher HP motors. Smaller lightweight motors proped to cruise at 24/25mph 3800rpm with give you the best ride and performance.
