Am I being impatient?

If the 25 Suzuki is in fact stock tuned correctly for maximum performance, the next factor is the motor set-up on the boat for maximum performance.

I can vouch for the 25 Suzuki. I have a stock 25 Suzuki on a 16 x 48 alweld. This hull is rated for a 40 hp max. With me, full fuel tank, 6" aluminum jack plate, aluminum floor with Styrofoam fillers, two batteries(front of boat), various items under the front deck and trolling motor(front deck), I average(depending on weather conditions) 26 to 29 mph on a hand held GPS. My 25 Suzuki is set-up to maximize its performance for the hull its on.
I disagree that the 30 Yamaha is twice the motor.
