Why are the 225Hp & 250HP 25" motors $1500 more than the 30" but the 300HP 25" is $1000 less than the 30"?

Hey MJ......can you combine my posts? I stuck with "Whale" but never did the 100+ posts I lost with "Whalen".

Snoozer, i'll be down in bahia honda the last two weeks of june, if you have any good spots on the gulf side and can share them, i'd appreciate it. i have some numbers, but mostly dive spots on the atlantic. didja have a good stoney season? i was doing ok this week, but now the water is warm enough for the poachers to get in them.
thanks

Well.....cruising speed, to me, is the speed your boat is most efficient. That seems to be the range for this motor on this boat, 20-28 mph.

As for RPM @ 30? We are all going to give a different answer cause we are all running a different pitched prop.

Plus, its been so long, I cant remember, but I'm pretty sure I put all that info in another post about a year ago.

And you are right, there are some real weirdos on this site.

Well, you want speed eh?
With a full tank? With an empty tank? With the three fat guys I usually have with me?
Are you gonna race the boat? Do you have to catch a bus? Is someone chasing you?
Do you want them speeds in light chop or flat calm? Do you want them in miles per hour or knots per hour? Do you want to know how many coats of paint are on the bottom? With the motor trimmed or not? Does it matter to you how the boat is trimmed? Would you like to know the pitch of the prop too?
How can anyone answer your questions if you don't ask them correctly?
I can give you a list of numbers junior, but they will mean very little unless you know where they came from. 20, 23, 26.

Phat, I don't have anything down that way yet. Except the numbers that everyone knows.
Crabs were off this year, but lobsters were good, at least for us.
I used to fish with a guy out of Big Pine. He knew a lot of coral heads between Honda and the back country. He wouldn't tell me either. But on a calm day, just idle along and look, that's how I find them. I have been visiting a lot of the spots around Marathon that I find on old charts and the internet, most are long gone. The 'canes covered and tore up an awful lot of good producing spots. The game boys have been active too, in trying to find habitats, but they may as well be blindfolded.

Well my friend went and got a new Caroline Skiff DLV 21 with the 140 suzuki. He has about 10 hrs on it by now and is really impressed with it. Quite, Smooth and fuel effecient. At WOT his speedo is showing 49mph, he has not installed the GPS yet. Maybe going out with him tomorrow.

Thanks for all your input.
