I have the 23 with the big Yammy. I think you are better off going with a lighter motor. With the S140, you can expect your moderate load top end to be 27-30 mph. Top end with the 225 is in the mid to high 30's. I do not like all the weight that the big 4 stroke adds. You absolutely have to get tabs if you go with the big motor (I reccomend them highly anyway). If you are worried about speed, go with a150 hpdi. They are reliable and efficient plus you will find your speed to be just about on par with the f225.

Congrats on the purchase - They are pissa tough fishing boats.
