23 center console w/300 Suzuki

I thought those #'s were optimistic / inflated. I'll be curious to see if they are the actual figures in the real world and not out of the salesman's mouth. Hope it pans out.

Planning to do same with my 23. How does do out of the hole and is it quiet. Does anyone think a 250 would be enough

Did the dealer really spend the first 4 hours on your boat under 50% throttle to break in the motor? How much do they charge you for that labor? That's a nice service offering.

Used it a bit this weekend and the controls are nice and sensitive to the touch. I did not get a gps this weekend but I was more inclined to do the breakin by the book so no wide open runs for me. It does seem like it needs more prop in the midrange. Idles very quiet and the water noise from the side of the motor at idle is all you hear. Dealer/installer did put on an hour of time probably cause of the no wake zones here. I would prefer to break in myself just to get a better feel for the motor. Will post more info as I get it.

Wow, that sounds good. Ar your numbers by GPS or Suzuki speedo?

Is that with or without a bracket?
