23ft Seacraft with a single 175hp Suzuki
 

There is a guy on THT that just repowered his 23ft Seacraft with a single 175hp Four Stroke Suzuki (4 cylinder) and get 28mph cruise and 39mph top end.

Pretty nice numbers. Any one every have a 175 or even a 150hp on a 23ft Seacraft.

Re: 23ft Seacraft with a single 175hp Suzuki
 

I think 175hp is too small. I doubt he truely gets those perf. numbers. I get those #s with a lighter 2-stroke 225hp.

I was thinking the same thing. If it's a CC then it will perform slightly better than a Sceptre, but those numbers do seem a bit high.

Wonder what rpms, prop? Seems a little fast, maybe that's including going with the tide or, wind or, running on fumes or, through a bottleneck. Or all the above. ;)

I never would have believed it until this past weekend, but I now actually believe those numbers. I have been messing around with my pile of spare motors. Currently I have a 1979 V200 Mercury 2.4L powerhead on a 2001 200hp mid section/lower unit (This is equivalent to a mid 80's 2.4L 175). Propped right and the motor seems to have plenty of power to push the 23 . . . the numbers above are with a full tank 70 gallons, HUGE 400+lb pilot house, 2 adults, 25hp Kicker, tons of gear.

Eggs . . . I had this same motor on my 18 . . . believe it or not the V200 on my 18 was only 44/45mph with just me onboard and 30 gallons of fuel using a mirage plus 17P. I'll put money that I can top 40mph when I put on the 15P mirage and shed one body in the 23.

So you were motoring down the stream with how much of a tailwind?? LOL! That old engine kicks ---.......!

175
 

I have an E-tec 175 on my 21- only have 22 hrs. on it but the one time I clocked it, with 95 gallons of fuel and two people on board, I had a 24 kt cruise and top end of 31 kts. Now I used to have a 200 Opti and there is a noticeable difference at top end but since I fish the ocean and rarely run at top end I traded off for much better fuel economy and a quiet reliable engine. My two cents would be that with a 23 those numbers would be hard to attain that he's claiming.

Dog the do make different props,mine will almost do that with one motor trimmed out with way to much prop, (19p powertech 4blade) way to much for a single 150.

i dont even get those numbers with a 225

at 4400/4500rpm - I'm cruising at 28/29mph and topping out at 5800rpm 38/39mph. My gps doesn't lie (at least I don't think it does). That 175 zuke should perform better than . . . a 32 year old Merc v200 motor rated at the powerhead not prop.

Bass - That Johnson 225 is a mean motor. How do you have it setup? You should be able to bump it up a few holes . . . What prop are you running? If you can find a nice 17P Viper . . . I'll bet you'd be a happy man.

Here's performance specs from a 2.6L OMC seadrive . . . those were about 205hp at the prop from what I understand but they had the heavy bracket / trim and tilt.

gantt diagram
 

We all enjoyed the datalist and the datagrid controls in asp.net datagrid . There were thousands of operations that we can perform using datagrid and datalist control. asp net gridview ships with another statistics bound templated switch which is called Grid View. Grid View has made the whole shooting match easier for developers. asp net grid changes that I accept seen in Asp.net 2.0 is that we don't command a luck of lex scripta 'statute law' to execute tasks but most of the functionality is already provided and built in the control.

In this article we will see the GridView call the tune in remedy and we will see what category of operations we can dynamic table present using this manage and how this control is think twice than the ageless datagrid control.

Using the sort table Management:

If you comprehend my earlier articles on DataGrid manage you might be struck by noticed that we necessity to author a register quite a bit of customs to capacitate paging, sorting and selecting an item from the datagrid. Using the gridview manage I did not settle accounts write a single line and got all the three things i.e, paging, sorting and variety an eye to granted.

Its all about set up. The right prop and engine height make a huge difference.

I have hit 41mph on GPS with a tired single 225hp Optimax on my 25ft Bertram FBSF and light load.

I have fished with 6 full size adults and 80 gallons of fuel and still hit 36mph+ with bimini up.

Its all about set up.

Seacraft 23WA
 

I have a Honda 225 hp on my 23WA and the last time I had it checked by the Honda dealer here, he said that Honda told him I wasn't running the motor hard enough at top RPM. He says since I am still under warranty, go out and run it. I did and I was surprised, at 6000 RPM, I was getting 46 MPH on my GPS. That is moving and the boat felt a little light on the stern. I can't afford to do that ofter and my fuel flow gauge all shows 16 GPH.

saw this thread on THT . . . Pretty neat thread. 34knots = 38mph.

Thanks BigShrimp

That is where I heard about it.

That combined with your report with a single 2.4 liter 200hp hitting 39mph with a good load proves it all comes down to set up. I love the fact that the 175hp Suzuki is a four banger.

It is a viable, affordable option for many people would are not solely focused on offshore.
