Default Re: new 200 E tec vs 1998 225 Suzuki

Are you looking at a 200 HO (90 degree V-6) or the 200 hp version of the smaller 60 degree V-6? If it's the 90 degree motor, I'd say the 220 hp rating is credible. BRP is sandbagging on the horsepower on a lot of their motors. The "225" is really about 240, and my "150" is really 165 at the prop. They're good motors - have had mine almost 4 years and have had zero problems.
