My ‘79 MA runs a 1999 OMC 175 carbed but gets horrible fuel mileage.

My brothers ‘88 18 SF has had an OMC 112/115, then a fresh ‘95 OMC 150 rebuild. When that finally popped he went with a Zuke 140. Much better fuel economy but he only knows two speeds. And the 140 does not have the top end.

I think you would find the 140 slightly underpowered but that may be fine with you.

Recently sold a ‘77 20 Seafari with an ‘06 E-Tec 150. Man that was a great engine! Oh well. Tough choices. Better info to come along. Hope this helps.
