If you plan on keeping it and like the boat why not upgrade, that Suzi 150 is a 4 cylinder, and should have allot more grunt than the small block 140, if I recall reading that the 140 actually only dynoed at 128 and the 150 I am not sure of, but it is in the same class as the 175 I would suspect it to be a strong 150.

Look at the Merc Opti 135, it puts out more that the 135 closer to 145 I think and it is built on the same block as the 150/175 Opti.

the way boats are selling now days it may take awhile to sell what you have now to upgrade, granted if you ever sell your present boat with a newer engine you wont get your money back.
