I'm assuming you mean a SUZUKI and not a suk. If so then you should be able to flat out boogey with that engine if propped right. She is a lightweight 2 stroke coming in at 470 pounds and it will push an honest 225HP(maybe even better) at the prop. The 225 SUZUKI is every bit as strong as a 225 EVINRUDE or JOHNSON, but gets better economy. WOT range for that engine is 5000-5600, but I would prop it on the high side of this range. 5800 if lightly loaded would be fine as you don't want to lug that 2.7L engine to hard as that will kill it.

You stated that you had to get use to the trim tabs--did you have it trimed down by chance--that will kill your speed for sure. You should definitly get more speed than that.

I get around 53 mph at WOT with a 200HO E-tec--no trim tabs.

Sounds like you are pitched right. Trimmimg it down will kill speed in a hurry for sure.

I would hit around 42 to 45 in a little chop in when I had my V-20. It had a 1994 150 hp johnson so I guess you should be able to get more out of that motor. Oh, my hull was a 1984.
