Talk to your insurance company for possible implications. If common sense was a factor at all for this I would say there is zero issue. If the 140 is a Johnsuzki it is probably heavier than a 135 opti, but we aren't talking 100s of pounds or anything.

From everything I have read you won't like what your insurance company tells you. HP ratings are a strange thing. The boat will be slower with a 140 4 stroke compared to a 135 opti but not acceptable to your insurance company.

Just be glad you aren't looking at tiller boats. HP ratings are an even bigger debacle.
