The new Suzuki 20" DF140 is 397 lbs. and I can get 40 mph out of it. Not sure on fuel consumption numbers, but, I can ride quite awhile on a tank. I raised my transom to 23" and have the motor mounted on the 2nd hole from the bottom putting the anti cav plate about 2-3/4" up from the keel. Sometimes I think it might do a pinch better lowered 1 more hole, but, it handles and performs fine. Running a 13-3/4 x 21p prop.
