I’ve got a 1448 Crestliner with a 25 Mercury 4 Stroke and I was getting around 26-27 mph. I was able to get 32mph with a mini jacker jack plate which raised the motor and made the cavitation plate level with the bottom of the boat and having the trim set in the middle position. The prop is the factory 11 pitch prop. I’ve also got a set of float pods welded on which helped with hole shot and porpoise.
Nice boat, awesome motor. Thats the same speed i get with a 500lb 16ft Deep V and new 25 Mercury, the 11p is matched perfect for it. Yours is lighter, and Suzuki's are suppose to rev a little higher/more top speed so Im sure u could hit almost 30mph with a 12p prop.
what do you think the stainless propeller is better? I will have a 5.5m (roughly 18ft) long Jon Boat. Same with the outboard motor as yours. What propeller would you recommend? thanks🙂
I don’t usually run stainless props on these smaller motors, I think the 10-1/4 x 11 would perform well on an 18ft. Im going to be trying a 10-1/4 x 13 soon and will post a video.. stay tuned
How does it compare to the old Yamaha 30 with regard to top speed? I just tried my new DF25A on my a Zodiac. Same prop as you, topped out at 26 mph and 5600 rpm. It would be interesting to hear the results with the 13" prop you mentioned. The DF25A is a very nice motor but I'm not impressed with the performance of mine so far. It performs just like the DF20A.
The DF25A as tested is slower by a couple mph, as soon as I get free I will be testing the 10-1/4 x 13 prop. Considering its a heavier motor I am pleased, the time to plane is excellent for me. Hopefully this week I’ll get out there. Thanks for your comment 👍
I wonder if their a limit fir dingily at 25- and struggle for 26.I've seen about 6 boat all peak out their, and and the smaller one peak at 10-11 mph.but the Suzuki so quiet, more nosy than the Yamaha
The current is going away from the boat??? I don't have a clue what that statement is supposed to mean or how it would even be possible for the currant to be going away from the boat unless you are sitting over a dam discharge port. your sound is horrible.

Nice, I’ve seen those jack plates they look like a good unit. Thanks for the info, very helpful 👍
Hey, for a lean rig to cover miles, you cannot beat that.
Thanks for watching, it’s a fun boat

Thanks for the info, I have a 13p prop now to test… haven’t had time to get out to test yet. I will post a video once I do

Perfect motor, and or even yamaha 25hp or tohatsu
I’m enjoying the Suzuki

Looks like you can get faster by trimming up a light more.
I have a higher pitch prop now 👍
Nice quiet outboard. You don't need more power than that❤
Agreed 👍
That's big iyt birds are gas hogs

There are gates and pump stations that move water through the Everglades. Hopefully that helps you understand. Thanks for watching
