Re: Suzuki 225 4 Stroke
Thanks for the suggestion. Really looking forward to seeing how this engine will do. Replacing a 97 200 Rude. Should see a big difference in fuel flow at least. Will post performance and fuel flows when I get them.

Re: Suzuki 225 4 Stroke
Otto,
Yes I am concerned about the weight!!! My Armstrong bracket has 450 lbs of floation I heard, but my old 200 rude rides pretty low in the water. I sure hope I have not opened up a big problem. I won't sell the old motor until I know for sure. I got way to good a deal on the Suzuki not to buy it.

Re: Suzuki 225 4 Stroke
Another thing is Suzuki's prop pitch's are not comparable to the real world pitches. The 16" props may be different, but their V6 14-15" props are about 3" high. A 14.25 x 20" Suzuki prop will run exactly the same RPM's as a 17" Stiletto or any other brand's 17" pitch.. If the dealer is suppling that 16 x 20" wheel make you test it with the load you normally carry before you let them walk away from it.

Re: Suzuki 225 4 Stroke
Any idea's why that is Dunk? If you were picking an aftermarket prop, would you go with the Stiletto's as opposed to another brand?
