Default Repower

My 1974 CC 20 looks exactly like yours with the same type of T-top. I repowered this spring with a new 115 E-TEC having removed the old 98 Mercury 115
I am extremely happy with the move. I tend not to max it out but have taken it to 34 mph at 5000 rpm. I am most efficient at 4300 rpm doing about 25 kts. running at 4.5 mpg.. Oil comsumption is extremely low.
Engine has been 100% reliable with not so much as a hiccup. It is smooth and very quiet. Can't say enough good things about it. On top of that...its sexy looking.
I would find it hard to put together a better weight/ performance combination for the 20 CC Seacraft.
My only sqwak is that...mounted on the 20 inch transom, my lower unit kisses the water for about 1 inch. Not my preference in salt water.
