Thanks for the replies. I understand the 140 might be a little over the target weight. I considered the 90 but I really loved the performance I had with the 130 two stroke so I felt like I would be sacrificing a lot going down to a 90 four stroke. That left the 115 which in Suzuki’s case was actually a little heavier than the 140. It seems like the mercury 115 command thrust motor would be perfect but I couldn’t work a deal out on one that I could with the 140, the mercury 115 was going to be significantly more. So that brought me to the 140. I have moved my two batteries to the front of the console to help offset some weight. I think if I need to work more weight forward I could go with a smaller tank now that I have a four stroke and mount it as far forward as possible. And I guess worst case is it really doesn’t work out and I find a 20 sf hull and mount the new 140 on a floatation bracket haha. I really do appreciate the help though. The 140 isn’t in yet so I still could go with the mercury 115 if I changed my mind. I believe it’s 360 lbs.
