suzuki just came out with the 80,90,100 hp 4 stroke that weighs only 341 lbs. 6500 bucks if you look around.

Just for some more information for you to base your decision....

I have a 79 18 with a 1994 Mercury 115 HP inline 4 cylinder. I cruise at 22-23 knots and WFO 5100 rpm the boat tops out at 28.5 knots. This is by myself with 3/4 full tank and no tabs.

The simple answer is no they are not adaquate, you can quote weight all you want but there's no replacement for HP - read the thread about the 23 with 225 Etec - will it plane with a 150 maybe but won't ride worth crap - its not a tugboat.

i had a 1998 90 honda on my 20sf came on the boat
when i bought it i was not happy w/it at first
after some different props and raising the moter up where it belonged it ran along perty good top end just me on the boat i would see 34 on the gps cruise along at 25
but started having some problems from the ethonal
and repowered last july went w/zuk 140 got 130hrs on it
and i love it but to your? the 90 will push it along ok
my 90 weighed over 400lbs and the new one are less
i guess its all in what you want i would look at the 140
iam very happy and the price is nt bad either
