This pic is over a year old. My brother currently has him but he is going in my new 225g this weekend hopefully. I will get some newer pics along with an updated measurements.
 
He was an inch when I got him around 5 years ago. Grew like crazy until 10" now grows around 1.5" a year or so. No signs of maximum size yet. I think 18" total length is attainable.

I think it depends on the species. I know they're are some species of marble sailfin plecos that can theoretically get 24"-30". I bout mine at 1" a with 10 months he is 6".

apparently there is some species commonly labeled as " marbled sailfin pleco" and it can get to 2'-2.5'. how long did it take yours to get to 10"? mine was 1" when i bought it and is now 6" and almost a year old.
