Also wondering if this outboard is suitable for a pride explorer 5.22mtrs

Should be lot's of motor.

Mostly depends on the weight of the boat. The loaded weight of my big boat is about 2850 lbs (1300 kgs) and I power it fine with 140 horses (Evinrude outboard) - good hole shot (for a cruiser) and top end is about 40 mph.

I don't have specs on the model you note but see that it is fiberglass and they built them "heavy" - so thinking a little over 2000 lbs, plus motor, people etc etc., but unless it's super heavy a 135 should get it up and going quite nicely.
