Cuanto cuesta?
Shipping to the Cape, or are you picking it up somehow?
Been thinking about a suzuki 90 for my 18SF.

I think Ryders Cove in Chatham has a leftover Suzuki 115 on the floor.
At least they used to...

You will be happy with that motor.

And if you're thinking about a prop, may I suggest a Solas Amita 4 blade 13.75X19.

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

Okay I went with the 140. Interested in seeing some numbers as far as cruise speed and WOT with your prop. Also interested in fuel burn numbers if anyone has them. Thank you

csicknick runs a 140 on his seafari, strick runs a 140 on his 20 sceptre, and Trayder ran a 140 on his 20.

There are numbers posted if I remember correctly.

Here's my non-scientific numbers. (Please don't hold me to them and note they are nautical miles)

Prop- Solas Amita 4 13.75X19 aluminum

Cruise about 22 kts @ 4200 rpm, 4.5nm/gal

Max 35 kts @ 6200 rpm, fuel burn unknown

Great hole shot

Got the engine hung. Just need to do a few things before she gets wet.

So today I finished the first 3 hours operating below 4k RPM. I had 3/4 tank of fuel and when I'm using the boat in the summer I usually carry about 100 lbs of ice. Today no ice for the test. I'm turning a 14X18 Suzuki prop and when I went open it up to WOT I easily exceeded 6000 RPMs. I very briefly saw 6500 and feel there was more throttle to go. I'm thinking a 14X20 prop may be the ticket. Does that sound about right? It's a 2015 Suzuki 140. Thanks

I wouldn't go with more than a 19 if you are staying with the Suzuki Stainless prop
