175 HP Suzuki. A lot of 21' banana boats are down here in Galveston and that seems to be the best power for them. I had a F150 Yamaha before and now I have a 175 Suzuki on mine. Cruise at 37 mph with 4 mpg and tops out at 52 with around 3 mpg. I don't have that many hours on the Suzukis on my 2 Whalers but I know of numerous 21 banana boats that have over 3k hours on their 175 Suzukis. They're fishing guides so they put 700+ hours on per year.
