Last Friday I picked up my new boat- a 2020 Xpress X18 with a Suzuki DF140A. Choosing a Suzuki is a bit out of the box for an Xpress, but I chose the Suzuki for a few reasons: The HP/weight ratio (the DF140A is only ~15lbs heavier than a 115SHO, and ~85lbs less than a 150SHO), reputed reliability, and gas mileage. With only 5 hours on the motor, performance with the initial set-up is impressive! It's rigged with a Solas Titan HR3 23p, and 4" ptp. With just me in the boat its running 50.8mph at 6200rpm, hole shot is good, gas mileage is fantastic compared to my old carbed Yammie 115, and handling is great . After break-in I intend to play with different props and set-up, but honestly, the way it rides I'd be quite content with it just the way it is.
