Its all relative to how fast you want or need to go.
If propped right you should be able to get 30 + on the top end. If you had your heart set on 40, you will definitely be under powered.
I believe the center consoles are lighter than the cuddy, so that would help out too. I had an older cuddy model w/ 140 johnson. Top end was around 28ish but 1) my controls were questionable 2) had no gauges to see if I was hitting max RPM 3) and probably not the optimum prop.
Good luck!
