Re: Suzuki or Not?

Is there a strong service and parts dealer in your area?<br /><br />The answer to that will be the same answer to your question.

Great engine. You need a good dealer nearby, though.

joyjoy,<br />I have a Johnson 140 4-stroke made by Suzuki, same engine, same warranty. I have over 300 hours on it with zero problems. Starts and runs good hot or cold, quiet running. What type boat are you considering putting it on?

Re: Suzuki or Not?

Thanks for the information. I will be putting the motor on a 24 foot tri-toon with performance strakes.

Maybe you've already done so but you can get an idea on performance with a similar boat to yours at http://suzukimarine.com/sr05/df140/boattests.php <br /><br />or http://www.johnson.com/docs/241000/006_US.htm
