Suzuki 15hp 4 Strokes

[ArkansasCat]

Hey Guys, I am wanting to buy a small motor for my 14ft boat to hunt and fish with. I am thinking about buying a new Suzuki 15hp 4 Stroke.

Just can't find many opinions on the smaller late model Suzukis.

Any of you guys running the small Suzukis or have friends that do?????

I'm sure the 4 stroke is a fine motor but I'm old school.
I think any of the small 4 strokes are too heavy, very complicated and require somewhat special handling.And I've read that some vibrate excessively.They also need to be carefully setup to properly handle a load.
I would look for a 2 stroke like the Johnson 15.They sold 2 strokes in 07.
the 2 stroke is about 50lbs. lighter,much less complicated,with easier, less frequent service intervals.
You might give the new Etec 25 a look Maybe to much motor but only about 40lbs heavier than the 4stroke 15 and it is injected.
