Kirk,
We are happy with our Suzuki 140 on our 23 Venture. I think you will find that it will have plenty of power for your needs and give you your desired benefit of a quiet and smooth cruise. Most of our motor time is at about 4K to get best fuel economy with making good distance in a day of travel. Some say that the 140 is a weak 140. The motor seems to come alive at about the 5K mark to experience that extra HP and so I think that is what they are implying.
Best wishes in the build our your new C-Dory. How exciting!
