Gillie has a great suggestion contacting Bigshrimpin. Also try some of the marinas along the south side of the Cape, particularly Dennis to Chatham. Lots of boats around there and lots of guys fishing commercial so older 2 strokes are readily available. A lot of the Chatham guys swear by the older Yamahas (2.6-3.3L) so keep that in mind. Just make sure that shift shaft has already been replaced before snatching one up or you could be in for a bitch of a repair. Also check CL...I've seen numerous 115's (all makes) available recently. As a lot of SC owners have already figured out, the 130 Yammie is almost a perfect match for the 20 so try to find one of those.

As others have said, that OX66 is a lot of weight hanging off an open transom. Even on the back of my dad's former 23' Sceptre, his 25" carb'd 225 would cause water over the transom with a couple guys in the back.
