Jim and Phil, thanks very much. If I make the move, I will go with the 140 Suzuki.

Q1: between a SUZUKI 140-HP and a SUZUKI 150-HP, [which is the best match for a 1976 OUTRAGE 19 boat]? BACKSTORY Since 2010 my 1976 OUTRAGE 19 has been powered by a 1999 Johnson 130-HP 25-inch-shaft engine mounted on a 4-inch CMC manual jack plate. The engine weighed 378-lbs.

Thanks Acassidy. I agree with you. With the motor obviously too low, I tried a 15.25 x 15 aluminum propeller. Boat speed was 37.2-MPH at 5200-RPM. [A 15.25 x 15 aluminum propeller] clearly isn't the right propeller, but I wanted to see if I could get engine speed to increase. In one day I will retes...

[On a 1976 OUTRAGE 19 boat] I re-powered with a [1999 Ocean Pro V6] 150-HP engine from a [1999] four-cylinder 130-HP engine While the horsepower increase is minimal, I still hope to get increased torque and top-end. Both motors have excellent compression and spark. The Ocean Pro 150-HP is 25-inch-sh...
