I have a Yamaha 115hp and would like to up the power output to 130hp
or even 140hp. The specs for these motors is all the same so it must
be timing and /or jets in carbies.

.....and possibly heads and piston shape and compression ratio as well.

I thought modifying outboard motors for more power for non-racing use is

true?

Prohibited? In the USof A??? (sounds unconstitutional to me)
BTW, I have the opposite situation. A 200hp Mariner that I'd like to
trade off some horsepower for better fuel consumption.

It's the EPA. For the Children. They can do anything you can't stop
them from doing. And it is only any modification that could affect
emissions or power output. :-)
