Love to put my Grandpa's Johnson outboard on the Feather Craft boat I just bought. Johnson 20 HP Serial no. C 32430 & Model no. 208A 758 - Wondering if this motor has an electric start?

That is a Canadian motor. Would that be 20BA75B? Not meaning to be a wise guy, but why don't you simply take a look? If it has a starter it would be so obvious that you can't miss it. A big black electric motor with a gear on top that engages the gear on the flywheel.

Thanks for the reply, I will definitely check when I get back up to the cottage in a couple weeks. Thats where the motor is right now which is why I was hoping the model #I had handy would help to determine if it does. If it doesn't, can one be put on an engine like this. From the looks of what Im seeing on YouTube, its a 1975 that I have and want to put behind the new 16 ft FeatherCraft .

Starters can be added to manual start motors. So even if your model number comes up as manual start, it could still have a starter on it.
