Default '05 23' CC with a single140hp Suzi?????

I stopped at the Local travis boating center to look at a new 23' in Fighting Lady Yellow. Nice. The motor that came with the boat was a SINGLE 140 4 stroke Suzuki. ????????? What gives? That's a 3070lb hull that many would consider a 200hp V6 as a minimum. What kind of top speed could you expect 30-32mph? I know my own 23 cc with twin 115's can only do 14 knots WOT with one motor tilted out of the water. What are these guys thinking? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Strange. I had a coil plug come loose on my 225, and my boat wouldn't even get on plane, this thing has got to be a pig

Thats where seacraft is at these days [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] The only thing ive seen more embarrasing than that was at the Ft Lauderdale boat show where Sea Fox was displaying their 23 with a single 125 merc.Boy I hope this is not where bps/travis is taking our beloved Seacraft [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

EDLOH,

I cannot get my boat on plain easily with one motor. I need 1/2 tab and wot just to get about 4200rpm's and 14mph. If I was offshore and needed to get home with one motor a 19" or 17" prop would alow my 115 to build a little more hp up the powerband and maybe turn 5000 rpm's or so and I am only guessing 18-21 kts at max.

I dunno what travis was thinking. In my book a 225hp is about right as a minimum and a 250 hp is the sweet spot.

I suppose it would get up on plane... probably about a 20mph cruise, 25ish top end. Not enough power.
