Gillie and fishstretcher are right! 140 zuke (410lbs) is about as heavy as you want to go.
25" suzuki 175hp weighs 529lbs mechanical controls, 531lbs Electronic controls.
The 20 seacraft was NOT designed for this kind of weight IMO.
The largest outboards when the 20 seacraft was designed weighed 275lbs.

"The 20' Center Console was a designed in 1967 with the avid fisherman in mind. Wide open deck area, raised deck in the bow section, storage lockers and bait wells. Options of an 80hp or 125hp motors with cruising speeds of 35 and 40mph respectively. A fishing boat that could handle the rough ocean waters."
