Default Re: choice of outboard

I don't think a 115 will do 45 MPH. The 140 Suzuki on a light 202 Scout barely does 45. Based on what I have seen and read here, a 140-150 would be the ideal motor on these. The 115 was the standard engine on these and many are happy with it. Cost/speed/use - but don't expect 40 knots with a 115. The article on this site about the Seafari from 1969 showed the 140 I/O just shy of 40 MPH not knots...

Good luck and waiting for some pics - how much snow did you get?
