[url=https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=341053#p341053 said:scoobeb » Yesterday, 23:30[/url]"]I think that 25/30hp suzuki will be the best motor in that class when it hits the market hard as it just came out.Suzuki doesn't make junk and all there outboards are awesome.Depends on what your going to use it for to.If your going to put a 30hp on a 1000lb boat of course it won't do much.The fact it's a 136lb 3cylinder makes it by far the lightest in it's class with the most power to weight ratio as far as 4strokes.Plus the rpm for the 30 is at 6300 which makes it a bit faster.You can't ever compare a 2stroke to a 4stroke first of all,it's apples and oranges.
Plus the 30hp suzuki will have a larger propeller line soon.It comes with a 10pitch which i do agree is a bit small,i would say at least an 11 to 12 would be a great start.Mercs/tohatsu 25/30hp efi are plane out dogs,are they great motors as far as dependable,100% but the overall performance from so many people call the merc/tohatsu as well as the 25hp yamaha a dog.The yamaha is a joke at near 170lbs or more.
I will bet give this suzuki a chance and it will be at the very top of all 25/30hp 4strokes.I have never seen one suzuki that was junk or was a dissapointment but let me tell you i have seen plenty of mercs/tohatsu and yamahas that were all hyped up to be nothing as advertised.
I just took my 20hp suzuki for a ride the other day,just a quick ride,nothing special and i will tell you it has a ton of power for a small engine.Top end on my gps for a few seconds was near 30mph on a 1436 jon boat,that's not to shabby.
Suzuki is so far ahead of the pack it's not even funny.You watch all the manufactures will follow suit of suzuki.I'm telling you keep your eye on this new 25/30hp suzuki,it's going to be a winner.
