The 140 is a lot of motor on an 18. I have a friend with a 20 Seafari but the cabin and forward helm really helps with weight distribution. It flies that hull but in your case I did some research on weight and options going with a 90 hp. Below is the weight for each of the same HP. I was surprised to see who was the lightest...
Etec 90 - 390#
Merc 90 - 359#
Yamaha - 353#
Suzuki - 343 #
