    Default Suzuki Outboard Opinion


    I am looking to repower an old center console. Money is tight, but thinkin of bitin the bullet and gettin a four stroke as opposed to an older motor off of someone I dont know. Suzuki's are considerably less expensive then a Honda or a Yamaha and have a five year warranty. What do you all think? Anyone had good or bad luck with a Suzuki?

    I got a 15hp Suzi 4 stroker on my Jon. I really like it. I got it because it was cheaper like you said.

    i have never owned one but i did talk to great lengths with a gentleman that has remanufactured outboards for 30+ years. he said they are the most durable outboards built. i have talked to a couple of guys at the lake when i saw someone with one. everyone i have talked with has loved theirs. i am considering one for my next outboard.

    I had one bought in 03 when i got my mercury. I liked the motor a lot and the dealer who sold it to me said the local commercial fishermen loved them. the dealer lied to me 3-4 times about the boat and i backed out and bought from another dealer who sold mercury motors. only reason why i'm not running a suzuki motor right now.

    Default Had a 115 Johnson 4 stroke for 4 years......

    It really was a Suzuki with just the Johnson cowl and colors. GTREAT motor!
    Very quiet and had no problems what so ever with it. My Nephew also has a 115 Suzuki. Same results.........Gteat motor. If the money's right, don't hesitate. Just my 2 cents worth.

    I have a 08 40hp Suzuki 4-stroke and so far it's been great. I talked to several dealers before I bought it and every one told me they had sold lots of them and had never had one come back because of a problem.

    Can't give you an opinion on a Suzuki, but I own a Nissan Marine 4 stroke and have no complaints at all. Great running outboard, and a way cheaper than the other brands.
