Hey Ben,
I have a pair of the Johnson 140 vro's on a bracket push'n my 23' Seacraft. The boat cooks. At about 3800 I can cruise around 35knots. The engines blocks on these outboards where sort of overbuilt for the 140 horsepower, in that it is the same block for the larger engines. The late 80's and early 90's are generally considered a great vintage for Johnson motors in general. I still have excellent compression on all cylinders at about 120-125 with the powerheads done about 300 hours ago.
