    20' Overnighter Repower

    Welcome to the forum... I would think a Yamaha F150 or a 150 E-Tec would be the way to go, but if you have your heart set on a Merc, then a 175 Optimax would work. If you are searching for a late model or new motor, why not look for something with a 20" shaft? Save the money on the...
