Re: Best Engine for a 20ft CC
I just installed a Evinrude 175 DI on my 76 20cc. I was going to install a 150 DI. With a 4 blade 17" prop it is turning 5600RPM and is running 55 mph. I have found at 45 mph the boat starts to walk and at 50 it really shakey.If I had to guess a 150 DI should push the boat between 38 and 44 mph. I would not even think of putting on of these engines on a 20" transome. I raised mine during the overhall. As for the water problem I install the plugs when I step in the boat and pull them when I tie back up. By the way did everyone see the Evinrude won the JD Powers Award taking 1st place for there Evinrude DI 2 strokes beating all the other 2 stroke outboards.
