Take a look at the Suzuki 30HP 4 stroke motor. Light (I think its' 153 lbs by memory) and strong with some nice features. You can buy the motor from places like Porta Bote and it comes with prop, control box, fuel tank, etc. Everything needed but control cables. Also includes a 6 yr warranty. It may not run as quickly as your 40hp motor but my 2002 13ft Sport runs about 28 mph and the hull has a vee bottom, so your boat should run faster then a 2002 hull. I love mine- it's quiet, starts instantly, is great on fuel and no smoke.
