Hi <br /><br />I am looking at purchasing a Mercury 140hp engine brand new 2004 model it is the carbi version that they sell. Is this a good engine. Will it push my 6 metre boat at a good speed for waterskiing.<br /><br />My transom height is 580 milimetres, will a 25 inch leg engine be suitable or will the transom have to be lengthened to accomadate this length leg. The length of the transom is closer to a 25 inch leg than a 20 inch leg.<br /><br />Any advice would be appreciated.<br /><br />Cheers.
