I have an older Johnson 150 and its perfect for the boat. When I hit the gas she jumps out of the water and I have a good cruise speed at around 3300 to 3500 rpm's. When I want speed it hits around 45 mph and mine is a navy issued and geared a little lower than the average Johnson 150 in that year and model. Not sure how the dealer got his hands on a Navy issued Johnson but it was still new in the box when we picked it up from the dealer. Only time its an issue is when I order parts and it has a funny vin. # that confuses the parts guy. I've been lucky and have only needed a few parts.

A lot of the guys are having good performance and economy w/the Suzuki 140 4-stroke...I would think on a CC it'd really be a great motor all round...personally, I just don't think a 115 is enough for these boats...it's gonna overwork the motor...


See the tread below about 140 Zukis...

I cruise at 3200-3300 rpms, which gives me 28-30 mph depending on wind and water conditions, and the weight in boat.
