i haven't had much to post lately because i was having a little boat trouble, i had a power pack short out causing a chain reaction of issues. i got all that fixed and am back ready to fish. Long story short tired of mixing oil :biggrin i done went and ordered a new 140 hp Suzuki four stroke. if anyone is running one let me know how you like it. wish me luck :pray
Not sure of the Suzuki myself, but the boat dealer I got my new boat from spoke mighty highly of them. I took the safer route and got me a Mercury. Good luck, I hope it hauls you around for a many a fine trips
Inkdabber that mercury is,depending on size,made by susuki.My cousin has a 50 4 stroke,and it runs great.You can hardly hear it run.
My neighbor has one. Very nice engine. Congrats!
Ive heard nothing but good things about those Suzukis. I wish ya alot of luck for years to come with it.:)
Like Gabowman, I've heard nothing but good things. I just bought a new Yamaha. It might have been a Suzuki, but it's a long way from my home to a Suzuki dealer.
Congrats!!!!! Now you will be able to slide in on them without them hearing you coming :) Nice article in the South Carolina Sportsman this month :ThumbsUp
Friend of mine just bought a new boat with that 140 zuki on it. Great motor. Runs right beside those 150 and 175's on same boat and a lot lighter. He sold his other boat with a 50 suzuki about 4 years old. He never had one problem and he uses a boat more than most. Everything I have found out is you don't need to worry much about a dealer cause they just don't have problems.
Congrats on the motor! I have been running a Johnson 140 four stroke (i.e., white Suzuki) since 2003. It's been a great engine so far! Quiet, good on fuel, pulls strong, and has always started reliably. I'll definitely look hard at Suzuki next repower. Good motors. If you need parts (filters, etc) I have gotten mine from Browns Point Marine on the web. They have all the Suzuki parts diagrams on line. Hope she gives you many years of great service!
The only bad about Suzuki is finding an authorized dealer to do work on it if needed.
cant go wrong. Congratz!
thanks for the replies it makes me feel better about it. i am getting mine from Doss marine in Chapin, they have been real easy to work with.
Inkdabber I was wrong about that statement on mercury being a Suzuki, the motor I was talking about was a evinrude.I appoligize for that,now I'm gonna go find a hole to limb into and keep my mouth shut.Quote:
