Thats what everyone says when going to a 4 stroke. The inline engines have some better get up then the V engines. The best thing to do is run a boat with a 4 stroke on it to be sure you like it. Plus a opti max hpdi or ficht outboard would have been cheaper then the 4 stroke plus burn less gas and have twice the punch.

SECF-- 3 words of advice on a 23ft.

Twin 115/140 Suzuki's. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

3mpg cruise. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
1 gph trolling. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
25.5 knot cruise at 4k burning 10.5 total. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
37-38 knot top end. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
Very good hole shot. [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img]
No smoke, no oil. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]
8 or 10 people in my boat 4th of July, still came out of the hole easy. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
Plenty of power up and down seas.
Lot's of nice compliments.
Same price as a single 225/250.

Bye the way. Just changed my plugs after 150 hours on my flats boat with a 60hp Suzuki 4 stroke. Cost me 6 bucks.

I am thinking of repowering my 23 with twin 140 suzuki four strokes. Were those numbers with 115's or 140's? On a bracket?

Dont forget to check out your local Johnson dealer. THese are the same engine and I like the white engine over the darker color. In my eyes the white engine looks better plus salt is harder to see on a white engine. On a 23 footer I would go with the 140s.

TDOG,

Those were #'s with 115 4-strokers.

Guys

I demo'd the new 4 stroke Suzuki 250 at the Miami show a few weeks back.

Impressive hole shot ( I had to really hold onto the t Top on a 23 Mako.) Also very quite and I was quoted 8-9 Gal per hour at 4K rpm. Not Bad

Also quoted 15.3K installed, but in Fla. The Suzuki dealer at the Boston show quoted me 18K for the same motor with a six year warranty. The price you pay to live in the Northeast.
