New engine

[jorgeinmiami]

I've been going back and forth on what new engine to go with. The zuke 140 will do the job but after looking at various sites and comments I have concerns about the performance. Most say the top out around 40 mph with minimal weight. Im not a small guy and my 2 sons are pretty big guys. Add the TTop and gear and 50-60 gallons of gas and it may not perform as I would like. Going up to a 200 would probably make the boat stern heavy. I could take out the 70 gallon tank and replace it with a 50 and push it forward and much as possible to offset the heavier engine. If that's the route a 150 to 200 Zuke might work. Damm this 2nd guessing
