Who has a Suzuki 4 stroke outboard and whats your opinion on them? I'm sold on them. My cousin recently purchased a 2001 year model 31 Contender, the original owner bought it new with 2 stroke Yamahas, put 50 hours on it, passed away and his family has had in it climate controlled storage since. They repowered it with brand new 300 Suzukis last year and put 90 hrs on it before selling it to my cousin. The boat is like brand new. To make a long story short, we went run it in the Gulf last week. At idle, they are extremely quiet, what amazes me is that at full throttle you can have a normal conversation, they are that quiet. also the torque when you put them in the corner is pretty impressive. Just thought I'd share. My dad has had 2 Yamaha 4 strokes, a 225 when they came out in 2001 and a 2014 model 200 four cyl. Both zero problems, but I think when I do get a new boat it will be with a Suzuki.
