when i bought my motor in 2005 the Etecs were kind of new my boat guy thought the Suzukis were having corrosion problems and ALL outboards were hard to find. I love the motor and it moves the boat very well. It is however probably a little too heavy for the boat. To repower now i would take a hard look at an Etec, and I don't think a 150 is mandatory depending on how you like to use the boat. The 1986 20' is a foot longer than the 70's classics and probably a tad heavier I would guess so the 150 is nice, but I know plenty of people with 115's and 135's on the 20' classics that are very happy.
