I would guess anywhere from 115-150hp. Does it have 6 or 8 cylinders under the cowling? What size boat is it sitting on?

6 cyc on a 20 Overnighter
Ok probably 150-200hp if it pushed an overnighter

Looks a bit newer than this https://www.smalloutboards.com/j20081.htm

Pretty similar to this evinrude from 94. (Johnson merged with evinrude at some point) https://obparts.com/1994-evinrude-200-hp-6-cyl-carbureted-2-stroke-30-xxl-outboard-motor-4-250/

What year is the boat itself?

And didn’t some of the older vintage of motors come with some odd horsepower ratings like 125-130?

Boat is a 1986 204C Overnighter. Motor is locked up so I have a guy that will buy it for 1k. Gonna use that $$ on gel coat and wiring.

Agree with PointedRose... probably the same, or similar year as to your boat, though I suppose it could've definitely been repowered during that time as well. The brochure says that year/model of boat had a maximum power rating of 230 hp, which is a bit surprising to me as that seems a bit high.

I’ve seen where a 150hp doesn’t do well with 4 people getting on plane. I plan on a transom upgrade with a 225hp.

The stern may sit low with the extra weight.

I have the extended transom on mine. Would like to run 40+ WOT on calm day. I’ll have to look for threads with hp performance with my boat… thanks
