    Me dealer said I should be fine with the 140s the 150s where 6 thousand dollars more and would add another 500 extra pounds on the bracket. Apparently my dealer said the Suzuki 140s are capable of running bigger props than other 140s

    Going from twin 150 2 strokes to twin 140 4 strokes doesn't bother me at all I just don't want the boat to feel like a dog I fish offshore a decent amount and usually have 4 people on the boat, with the old 150s I cruised at like 4200 rpms at 30mph but I could get the boat up to almost 47mph I...

    The Gulfstream did come from the factory with a single 225 in 92 so I do have more horsepower than that, but what makes me worried is the Suzuki 140 is the same block as the Suzuki 115, when you go to the 150 its the same block as the 200. The main reason I went with the 140s was the weight I...
