[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 285901, member: 7791"] Remember all manufacturers are within 10% of the 25hp rating. So the Suzi is not creating anymore HP than the other manufacturers. They all keep a close eye on each other and so does the regulation dept. That being said apples to apples on the exact same boats comparing all the manufacturers 25hp models (in theory) the Merc should be capable of achieving the fastest top speed on a LIGHT setup. And the Evinrude Etec should be the fastest 25hp motor on a HEAVY setup. So if you run heavy and want top speed get an Etec, if you run light and want top speed get a Merc. As for engine longevity...... all the manufacturers nowadays make good motors so as long as they are maintained properly they should all run a very very long time. 400rpm less WOT of the Suzi is really nothing to go by with engine longevity, it is a very small rpm difference and there are too many variables beyond that that will determine and engines lifespan. I really wish someone would do a comparison video of all the new 25's on the same boat and setups to show which motor does what with what setup because all I can do is look at the physics behind the motor design of each manufacturer and theorize which would do what #-o .......... Have I mentioned that I think you should get an Etec? :lol: [/QUOTE]
