The old boats are light, I would guess the 140 would see mid 40's and great fuel economy. Mine is powered by a 150 Optimax ,the thing flies ! Sees 6 miles per gallon at cruise !

The classic 22 weighs a lot more than the 21 and the 22 also has a lot greater of a deadrise to the hull. While a greater deadrise increases ride quality it also takes more power to put the boat on plane and keep it running on plane. The 140 Suzuki would be a great motor for the 21 I think. Quite, smooth, light on the fuel, and pretty darn cheap to purchase all things considered. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive
