Skool's V20 Rebuild starts

I love it. I see you keep everything neat and in order as your doing a project just like I do. I can tear up the garage just replacing the spark plugs. Me in a buddy spent all this time checking and lining up the place to install out rigger holders. We finally made the cut and while drinking a beer started looking for the holder that we had just had in our hands. After about an hour of looking and a few more beers I went into the house to take a leak and there they sat right beside the toilet.
 
LOL yeah that's me last night i was looking for my 1/2 impact and took an hour to find the worst part it was in the case in the drawer right where it belonged i just didn't see it after looking 3 times i found it lol.

I'm installing my favorite lol a 225 Johnson 25" shaft, not sure what yr yet since i have several to choose from it will be which ever one i get to first lol. I thought about a single Johnson 140 perhaps as well ??? what ya think about a 140?

From a 225 to a 140 thats a big swing in HP. I have a 150 Johnson which pushes my v 20cc around very good and tops out around 45mph. Is the 140 a 4 or 6cyl?
 
I wish i had a choice between the 140 and 225!  I'd run the 140 and experiment with different props, it should do fine.

Heck, if you're gonna sell it, give the buyer the option!
 
if that 140 is the big looper 4 cyl, then it will probably push that boat pretty good. the only problem I had with teh loopers is idle quality, ended up taking that plastic i9dle speed screw all the way out on my old 120 looper, the 140 should have adjustable idle mixture scews so it won't be such an issue
 
4 cylinder big bore looper they are all 1990's i have 4 of them. they are the exact same as a 120 only the intake and jets are different.
 
My father-in-law has an Evenrude 112 and it pushes his 20 sea pro pretty good but man it sounds like crap. It sounds like a sewing maching.
 
Skool, when you redid the transom, did yu replace it from the inside or outside.  ???

Looked at the earlier pics of you removing the floor.
Ok, you have a top skin of flooring, then wood, then another bottom layer of glass. I noticed that you laid it back into the V after yanking all the rotted wood in.
So my question is...do you glass in the bottom layer to the stringers ?...how do you secure it ?? or after you wet in the new wood, the top deck will be the only thing securing it ??
 
sorry guys only worked on the boat today for about 3 1/2 hours but here's what got done.

Holes that i had ground i filled with glass and resin

I test drove a V-20 center console with a 94 140 on it(large gearcase, finger port motor I believe). It had plenty of get up and go I thought, felt like a good match. You can always tweak that 140 a little if needs be to ;D.
 
I know a 140 is the way I am going on my V-20 CUDDY(when I finally can get to it). It currently has an 83 1.6L SEA-DRIVE on it(115 powerhead rated) and it will get on plane without issue, but top end is a bit lacking. If you consider though my sea-drive is around 100HP propshaft, a 140HP propshaft rated engine would do nicely.
