135 black max on 20 seafari?

[eggsuckindog]

With the cabin its a bit heavy and 150 to 175 would be better, but I have heard nothing bad about the motors so thats not the problem.

It's the original transom, don't want to press my luck witha big engine

I have a 77 Seafari with a rebuilt 96 mercuryt 115. With the reabuild I'd say it's about at 125, and it's works just fine. Max speed is 34 MPH and I have no problem getting on plane with three grown men, tackle, bait, and beer. I save GAS too!!!!!!! As long as your not a speed deamon it would be a fine fit. Remember the seafari is only 1800 dry (no motor). I have a dream to fit my seafari with two flats jacks and twin 90 HP Optimax. One day and $16,000 later.
