This question does not provide enough information to be adequately answered. The main factors are hull displacement & gross weight. Also, is the intended usage to be "at sea" or "just around the marina"?
To determine the age of a Mercury outboard, you will need to know the engine serial number, and the horsepower rating.
does the lower unit need to be removed to replace the water pump on a 1995 Johnson 115 hp outboard engine

Need to know if its 2 or 4 cycle.
no
The size of the sailboat would depend on the amount of people and gear going on the trip as well as the type of boat. Some 13 foot sailboats can be outfitted for the trip while other models need to be over 20 feet to even think of sailing this path.
how do u remove the lower uint on an outboard motor? Depends on the outboard. Some Johnson/Evinrudes required that the powerhead (engine) be removed first for example. Look for a service manual for your particular motor on ebay, and it will tell you all you need to know to avoid problems.
In order to determine the year of manufacture for an Evinrude or Johnson outboard, you will need to know the engine model number.
You can pull a skier at around 17ktns so even with a smallish outboard (25hp) on a dinghy its possible.
Yes, you can use a 305 engine on some boats however, you need to provide more info on the type of boat. Putting the engine on an inboard/outboard, style boat would not be difficult at all, as long as you already have a good lower unit, same goes for an inboard. An outboard, on the other hand will be difficult, if its even possible to run a horizontal engine vertically.
In order to find the year model of a Mercury outboard, you will need to know both the engine serial number, and the horsepower rating.
It depends where you are. In most places you don not need any.
