New 4-cylinder Suzuki 200HP??

I was at the Suzuki parts and service center picking up a thermostat for my engine and got to talking to the guys there. Apparently, Suzuki came out with a brand new 200HP inline 4 in 2015. It weighs only 498 pounds which is about 18 pounds heavier than my 140HP. Early reports say that it doesn't have the low-end torque like a 6-cylinder 200HP would, but top end on a boat similar to mine is about 48mph at 6100rpm. Slap a 4-blade prop on it and it might take care of the hole shot.

I'm skeptical on it since it is so brand new and I cant find any actual use reviews, only the replicated boat show garbage that gets put out. But that would be a nice compromise of power and weight.

It would and I'd think it would push your SV along nicely, you could always use some tab to help the hole shot.

I'm looking hard at those as well...
