The Suzuki DF140 is a great engine (I have one on my 18) but it is not the best choice for towing, as it has less low end torque than all the 150's due to smaller displacement. It's strengths are quiet running, exceptional fuel economy and reliability.

For an 18 mostly used for towing boats and skiiers, i'd choose an E-TEC small block V6. (135HO - 200)
