| I'm guessing it goes just about as fast
everything listed in the article is "just about" the same. if the differences matter, they're going to be small differences.
top speed with the Opti was 64.5; assuming the Suzi pushed a little faster after raising it higher you could safely assume right around 60mph.
same with the fuel economy, they're all "just about" the same.
although not listed in that article, it's same with emissions, "just about" the same as they're all tremendously clean-running now days. my 200hp Opti is "ultra low" by California standards, whereas my 9.9hp 4-stroke is something like "super low"...i forget the exact titles but it's the top and 2nd-top categories. they are decidedly not big polluters and comply with industry emission standards.
i have noticed that the 200hp Suzi on Norm's boat is quite a bit quieter than the 200hp Opti on my boat; though this only really matters at idle or slow speeds. at 50-60mph the difference is minimal and sucked away behind you anyhow. i kinda like the growl of the big 2-stroke for getting here and there.
i definitely want it quiet when going slow, however, something i loved about my previous 70hp Suzi tiller: which is why i got a 9.9hp 4-stroke kicker on this one.
