140-4cylinder or 200V6
It will be a few months before I replace the Warped Johnson 200V6 that my boat came with. Found a guy that will sell me a evenrude 140 for a good price. Will the lighter 140 with its higher RPMs push my V the way i need it to, or is it going to be underpowerd?

The 140 will be great. To me, a 150 is perfect, but I would be just as happy with a 140. You'll like the power and the savings in fuel...

I think the 140 would be fine as well.

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! Blue

he told me it was a four blade prop. Is there a BIG change from 3? Im not going to be running offshore or anything just in and around the bay and nearshore.

Find out what year engine it is. I aint to far from you if you need some help with her, I'm only about 20-25 miles to the north of TAMPA in old Z-hills. If it is a cross-flow engine it will do the job, but very thirsty. The looper will do it better with less fuel usage. Another thing to remember is up until 84 ALL of the JOHNNY-RUDES were flywheel rated, in 85 the 120/140 ooper V4's started propshaft ratings. And in 86 most all of them were propshaft rated. What is wrong with your current 200?
