Default Re: 20 footer on E-bay

A 200hp 500lb(with the prop and oil) Yam sitting 30" behind the transom is way more than the boat was designed for. 500lbs 30" back is the same as 700lbs bolted to the transom. You'd be better off with twin V4 Johnson 115's bolted to the real transom. It would float higher. Most older boats are not designed for a bracketed outboards. Especially with the weight gains new engines have seen. In 72' the nastiest thing around was a 125hp OMC V4 that weighed 300lbs.

I think I just talked my self into something............
