My 140 Zuke 4 stroke is slow, I couldn't imagine 96Hp anywhere near enough for the boat.. Run it, see how it goes, and let us know.

Inspect the transom and the floor really close, make sure there is no rot.

Good Luck with it!!

I forgot to add that to my post above. I have an 84' and it is self bailing as well.

What kind of speed do you get with the 140?

My buddy had a 120 Rude on his 18 Fisherman. The 120 had some work done, bored over ect.. His went close to 50mph.
