Just ordered a new Suzuki 115 4 stroke to put on my 1750 Fish Hawk, does anyone have this setup? Do you like it and what type of speeds are you getting both WOT and trolling?
Thanks for any info.

I have a Suzuki 115 4-stroke on a Triumph 190 (18'6") Cool Bay. Hull weight is 1700 lbs. dry. With a PowerTech 24 pitch prop, I was getting 40-45 mph GPS at 5400 rpms. Couldn't get max rpms (6000), so I have switched to a 20 pitch. She trolled down to 2.5 mph GPS with the 24, which was perfect for pulling cranks. The 20 may pull too fast, but no biggie, since my electric pulls at a max of 2.5 mph.
This is a great motor! Quiet, efficient (~5 mpg), and I think they are still offering a 6-year free warranty on them. I had an injector go out last year, but I was using marina gas with no additives, so it was probably my fault as much as the motor's.
