I had a 1975 18' SeaCraft which I repowered with a Suzuki DF90 back in 2015. I think they weigh 342 lbs. I did a lot of research before I made the purchase and was leery it wasn't going to be enough power for the boat. I originally had an old 1987 Evinrude 90 2-stroke on there. I had the original height transom, so I wanted to keep as much weight off the stern as possible. I moved the batteries under my console. I recently sold the boat, but was very very happy with my decision to go with that Suzuki 90. It jumped up on plane quickly and had enough torque to spin a 14x16 prop. I had a great cruise speed in the low 20's and a top end around 35-36 mph. My scuppers were above the water line and the boat self bailed, no problem. I was over 6 mpg at cruise. PM me if you have any specific questions.
