different gear ratios - probably needed different props.. jack plate differences. kinda skewed test

I want to see Yamaha vs Mercury vs Honda

I sure would not want anyone to know I was dumb enough to pay what that boat cost. Stupid for a boat to catfish out of. What the hell are you thinking.

I wish you would’ve said something to acknowledge what the ticket said. Like just outright asked her for the camera or put some kind of text over the video or something to explain what he was going to do or what happened.

Suzuki all day every day for me, reliability when island hopping and adventuring is what I’m after not show ponying.

But those boats have no vee and are extremely rough riding in heavy chop. Been there don’t that and don’t want to kill my back anymore. Sea Ark has a very good vee and rides so much better.

This seems illegal

No jack plate on Suzuki unfair

I owned a .125, I hit a stump and a submerged log. They both left a little denting but I was very surprised how little damage there was. Will definitely be sticking with AL over fiberglass from here out. Currently weighing the Xpress X23 vs the Excel 230

Could someone tell me why they stopped making these? Cannot get a answer from anyone

Why did they stop making these Zach doesn't make sense

I see more blown up yamahas than suzukis

Not really a good test. Boats have stringers and ribs that re-inforce the skin. Sea Ark has dropped their .100 gauge boats from 10' with little or no damage.

I guess if you arrive in the Yamaha first and get backlash on your first cast,then the extra cost of the Yamaha didn’t matter. The Suzuki just pulled up and starts fishing for less money. Jk guys.

She below mid

Cool cop!

Where can I get one?

More speed is great if you can afford thousands of dollars in extended warranties/ or repairs. If you want reliability over the long term, that is another story. If you are one if these pros that can afford to ALWAYS have a boat payment and run your motor HARD, go with the yamaha. If not, ...

Why don’t they make the front vee sharper for a better ride is beyond me.

Bad ass boat

Why no jackplate on the Suzuki? Makes a difference. Set up can be everything. Ask Andy at Team Marine Service!

Put a jack plate on the suzuki boat🤦

The two best outboards money can buy. I've got a 2020 115 Yamaha VMax and it is absolutely a torque monster. Brother in-law just switched from a 2018 Mercury (which had already blown) to a Suzuki, and he loves it.

I wouldn't buy s*** from Huntley Marine.

What’s the rpm’s vs the wheel pitch ?

glad I seen this, I'm getting aSkeeter with a Yamaha 250 Vmax.

I have seen Jeremy as a pro staff for Seaark. Are seaark and excel the same parent company?

Would these be good in saltwater this would be better then a bay boat

Raw looking boat nice layout looks well built the only thing I don't like is the windshield its ugly it looks dated from the front of the boat but it serves its purpose

Well built boat looks raw nicely laid out the only thing i dont like is the windshield is ugly and will makes it look dated from the front

Same as the excel stormcat nice boat looks well built and has a nice layout but the windshield is ugly they could of design it to look good like the rest of the boat

Awesome looking boat looks well built and has a nice layout but the windshield is ugly and will make it look dated from the front

Looks very well built and nice looking accept the windshield is ugly and will make it look dated can you remove the windshield or or custom order one without it

What is the MSRP with the 250 SHO?

What a joke. Clearly a Yamaha biased video

What happened to your excel storm cat?

The Yamaha went straight the suzuki took a detour what the f*** plus a Jack plate on the Yamaha I call BS

Can the Suzi keep up with the holeshot with a 31p??? Test again.

So to clarify. @5600 rpm w/ 1.75 gr. Prop speed is 3200rpm @5600 rpm w/2.08 gr. Prop speed is 2692rpm With 11%slip, 5600 rpm 1.75gr 27p is 72.8 mph 2.08gr 27p is 61.3 mph 2.08gr 31p is 72.6 mph

Ok wish i would have caught this earlier. Of course the sho is faster with equal propping. Sho has a 1.75 gear ratio and the Suzi has a 2.08. that means the prop is spinning faster by approx 15% faster at any equal rpm. The test would have been more equal if the prop pitch and size on the Suzi to equal the same speed at max rpm (factoring slip in as well) and see who gets there faster. Its simple math. prop (rpm) at a certain pitch and design at a set rpm will give an absolute speed(minus slip). The torque to turn a larger prop as quickly is where the money is.

The true test would have been a Mercury Pro XS vs Yamaha SHO and we all know the Pro XS has the more torque and quicker.

Recreating this with my girl hold up

That’s crazy!

Just can’t wait!

I don't know which is faster or better. That being said, it looked to me that Suzuki had an extra 250-300lbs to carry with that passenger he has with him when they start the race.

Suzuki's are notoriously slow. It's all in the lower unit gear ratio. There is a reason you see Mercs and Yamaha's on bass boats... I have a Suzuki. It is 5 mph slower at the exact same settings as a mercury powered boat.

How did you put this together!!! I want to do the same thing!!!

Ball park price?

Share the wealth asshole

Good video Zach.
