Default Re: Speed

Serenity. I think you should go with the 140 suzuki's. Your boat is a little heavier than mine so the extra hp and torque would be helpful to you. As for my guess, you would get about 5 to 6mpg trolling, 4k rpm's with 14x23's will net 10.5 gph and 25-26kts with (for about 2.6 mpg) bump it to 4500 rpm's for 14gph and 31kts,(still 2.4mpg or so) and my guess is about 45mph top. 115's will move your boat very well also. As for the hole shot, you will beat any single motor on the planet, except maybe for merc's 300hp, but who has one of those anyway?
