It was time to repower. The old 2-smoker was getting a little long in the tooth. After considering multiple outboards I ended my search with the Suzuki DF140. My decision was made difficult as I was very close to hanging the Etec 135HO. I reached out to multiple respected Captains I know running each outboard brand. Each were honest and upfront on what they thought. I could not be more appreciative of their input. Anyone who puts a couple thousand hours on their outboards will have plenty to good and bad to say.
In the end Suzuki for me edged out all others. I like the lower weight, smaller size and the fact it comes in white.
Took her out this weekend. Only about 4 hours on her but I'm liking it. Dead quiet at idle. I need to swap the prop with more pitch, spun up very quickly. Once I swap props and put some more hours on her I'll report back with performance numbers.
Outboard Specialties did the repower. I could not be happier. Mike & Mike did right!
