Re: Motor size
The older 2.0 liter V6 Mercs. (135, 150...and a few very early 175s) were very reliable and easy on gas. I had a 1985 2.0 150 on my 20' Grady and it would cruise me at 28 mph and burn less than 7 gal/hr. They weight under 400 lbs too. You should be able to pick up a rebuilt 80s model for pretty cheap.
Just a thought. Good luck.

Re: Motor size
Thanks guys,
With unlimited funds my first choice would be the 140 Suzi but I'm limited in funds right now. My cousin is an OMC Tech so I sort of lean that way on used motors (built in mechanic). But I'd probably snap up a used 130 yamaha at the right price. I guess my main question is will a late model 115 Johnson push this boat with 60gallons fuel and 3 adults? They show up pretty often for sale down here and remember I've gotta have a 20" motor so it narrows the feild a bit.
