0 Ufatz Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I have owned several Suzuki outboards over the past 15 or more years. They have always been totally dependable, fuel efficient and great outboard motors. I would have no reservations about buying another one if I needed it. I still have a little 2.5HP model that will run all day on a tank of fuel. Great for a little duck boat or Avon raft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Lundboy14 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I have a 9.9 as my kicker on a 1700 Lund Fisherman. I am very happy with it. Starts and runs smooth. Has plenty of power,yet trolls down to 1.2 MPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shorelunch Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Not quite apples to apples, but have a Suzuki 140 4 stroke that I've been very pleased with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Lundboy14 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I have the 140 4 stroke as my main motor. I love it. Sometimes I wish that I didn't spend the dough for the kicker because it trolls down to a very slow speed and is so quiet that people have told me to start the motor and it was already running.

0 clam up Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I have myself an early 90's suzuki 30 hp/3 cyl on my alumacraft lunker. Great motor, never a lick of trouble and it will troll along all day as well. Aways starts in either a pull or 2 or a touch of the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jiggin' fool Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 BUY THAT SUZI!!!!!!!!!!I have a 115-4 stroke on my 1800 Lund Explorer. Quite a number of my buddies, (with boats of their own), have joined me on the water for a day of fishing. Without me even asking what they think of the motor, not a single one of them have fished with me for an hour or two without complimenting on that motor. It is simply the smoothest motor I have had the pleasure of running. It trolls my 1800 Lumd down as low as 1.6 mph..., and does it so quietly, that I frequently catch walleyes trolling in water as shallow as 7 feet.., and that is straight line trolling, without boards.Don't work for Suzuki.., just am one HAPPY Suzi owner!!!!!!------------------"You should have been here yesterday"...., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Sandbar Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Web,I have the 2003 140 and 9.9 4-strokes on a Crestliner 1850 Fish Hawk. Both motors have been excellent. I have 200+ hours on the 140 and 40+ hours on the 9.9. The 9.9 starts very easy and runs smooth. I would buy both motors again.Sandbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
