Keep us posted!!...sounds like this could be an interesting project...pics if ya can!! Put a tape on that transom...only way to be sure...original owner could have ordered anything and previous owner could have DONE anything... Generally a 150 is gonna be a heavier V-6, whereas a 140 will be a much lighter 4 cylinder...usually I like maxing one out w/HP, but this ones right on the pivot point for me...I'd have to look closely at a 140 for an 18...just my 2 cents worth...

20" on my 90' also. They are great boats..very heavy for their size so they handle the water as good or better than most 20' "newer & lighter" bay boats Ive been in.
I only get about 3mpg but thats due to the old thirsty 120hp Force. Mine will run 38 lightly loaded. Lord willing I plan on never parting with her.

AJason, Stinky's got a great example of a V18 here!!...and down in his neck-of-the-woods it's been well tested...if he's gettin' 38 outta his 120, a 140 oughtta get ya 40...
Ain't gonna steal Jason's thread, but Stink you sure have rigged your 18 out nicely!!...lovin' that lean post, bait tank combo...NICE WORK!!...

Stink i love the way you rigged yours! I am thinking of a 130/140 outboard for mine. If i get it, its going in the garage on blocks. I would like to build my own leaning post and bait tank combo. Maybe with tackle storage on the sides. Not sure how i want to rig the bottom of the console. Spare fuel tank? Overall i love the design and size. My hope is to build a economical fishing rig. One reason i want a v4 two stroke outboard. I?d give up a few mph any day for better mpg.

I have a one piece stainless bow rail and a grab rail for that console if you want them, both are in great shape....
