2020 DF140 vs DF115

[SVRider23]

Hi All,

We've decided to re-power our boat with Suzuki. I was wondering if I could get your opinion on which motor you would choose for a 20' DC boat. Is it worth the extra money for a 140 vs a 115 in terms resale value and overall performance? Thoughts?

Personally I’d rather cut back on the throttle than wish I had more.

[Moonlighter]

Yes.

Never, ever have I heard anyone complain about having too much horsepower, but plenty regret getting less.

Go the max hp for the hull.

I have a 20 ft Blazer Bay. I love my DF140. I fish around some guys with 115's. The difference is night and day. Saw one guy the other day with 3 men on board. Oh no grasshopper. He struggled to get on plane. One thing*** make sure you get a 14" dia. 3 blade with a 20 pitch.
