hehehe I never run at 25 mph...the 265 likes to do 30 or 33. But it would be somewhere in the low 4000s if loaded with fuel and ice in rough seas. In calm seas there is no reason to do 25 when you get just as good fuel burn at 30. 25 feels like you are crawling. And the 265 will eventually try to go faster...Great info here, can you clarify what RPM you are running at when cruising at 25mph?
I don't refer much to rpm because it varies by weight and sea conditions and trim. I look at speed and MPG and I find the speed that feels good.
Also, I see you are looking at Yamahas. You cannot compare Suzuki rpm and prop size to Yamaha. They are geared very differently.
