i have a Yamaha 200 I4 on my frontier which is pretty similar to your Vbay. I top out at 50-53mph depending on load. i get 3-4 MPG depending on how hard i run it and this info is from the NMEA info gauges. Zero issues in 3 years. Its kind of loud for a 200 but sounds good Overall i like it. Its efficient and reliable.

From the speeds ive seen on other frontiers or similar sized hulls it looks like the zuke have a little more top end to them due to turning a bigger prop. The yamaha power is there for these lighter hulls. I pop up on plane quickly and it gets up and goes when mashing the throttle.

I do like how the suki is geared down to swing a bigger wheel. Bigger wheels are more efficient
