Maybe I'm looking at the wrong numbers, but the Suzuki web site is showing the current "X" length DF140 at 405 lbs., with the same displacement (2044 cc's) as the 115. The only time I ran into wet feet problems in my '75 18SF/140 was when I forgot to fasten the washboards and tried backing down into a chop. I did put the battery under the console and kept the stern free of junk and big humans, but I don't recall ever coming close to sinking it. Good luck with whatever you wind up with... I'm still wrestling with the repower decision on my 23' Sceptre.
