[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 410550, member: 12925"] If you haven't yet, call Outboard Jets and make sure that it will fit. I think the 18-25 hp you are looking at actually means 25/18. The 25 hp at the head, I think, is the smallest they make. A 20 hp is going to be roughly 14 hp at the pump if everthing is in excellent condition. I don't want you to spend the time and money to find/get one and it not work. I ran a 87 Mercury 25 xd with a pump for about a year on a 1536. It ran ok with 2 people, took awhile to plane out and needed 6-8"s to run in. You will need to build the transom up and do something to keep water from coming over the rear corners in turns. I used 2" aluminum angle bolted to the outside to deflect the water away from the boat. Good luck, hope it works, but I think you will need to find a 25 hp. [/QUOTE]
