Capt. Lloyd also has a 140 Zuke on a 20 sf, with a bracket on it. Unless your min planing speed is down around 12-13 mph, you might want to consider a 4B prop to get a little more stern lift to offset motor weight. 4B props might lose a couple mph top end, but will typically improve cruise mpg and reduce mid-range throttle sensitivity, especially in following seas. I think that's a good trade. You also need to make sure motor height is correct before you start switching props. Top of the anti-ventilation plate should be above the water when you're up on plane and trimmed out where you normally run.
