Dave I paid $10700 installed after taxes(mass 5%) and less rebate($500)that proce includes a stainless prop and two extra guages installed. Today I put another four hours on it and I've only ran it at wot for about two seconds a couple of times. It did about 34knts . keep in mind that the transom on this boat has an aluminum bracket to raise the height to 23" the previouys owner did this to get the 25" engine on there. The old engine I took off was a 115 with a 25" shaft(30knts max). The new one is a 25 inch shaft also so when I re do the transom it will be right on. This being said the 25" engine on the 23" transom the engine is still about 1 1/2 to 2" to low trimmed in it throws some spray. Not to worry a new 25" transom is in order. I was told by another local owner I should expect mid fortys(mph) when I get it raised up. Today marked a total of seven hours on it and the gas guage still is pegged on full. I will be moving the twin batts under the console to push a little weight forward. The extra four stroke weight is less than I was expecting, the whole shot is about the same as the 115 but the mid range acceleration is awesome, instant throttle response. The cruise is faster with this engine it wants to settle right in at about 4500 to 4800 and run at about 27knts which is more than enough for the northeast. When I got back to the dock this moring there was another Seacraft 20 with the same engine on it. Just in this harbor alone there are around ten Seacrafts moored there, two I have seen with the Suzi 115. All in all I love this engine so far. It idles so quietly at the dock you don't notice it running. I'm glad I got it in time for the fourth [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
