this off season were thinking to repower our 18' lund. has anyone had any good bad ect with the new Suzuki 4 strokes? Thinking that or new mercury, never been a fan of the Yamaha. We are running a 99 40 hp mercury now. might want to step up to a 50 but weight of a four stroke makes me wonder thanks

had suks / had merc.s . IMO Yami,s are the best motors made ><><

I've owned a couple of two strokes in the past and for my money you can't go wrong with a Yami 4. Each time I go out I look aft and yell "I luv u" at it.. No kidden....

My 2003 Suzuki 140HP 4 stroke runs sweat, I've never done anything to this puppy other than turn the key and go. I had a Honda 150 4-stroke on my Lund and it was a good motor also, know many who swear by the Yamaha's, might be a decision based on what your favorite shop/mechanic sells; service and price?

i heard something from somewhere about suzuki declaring bankruptcy. i have to run or I would google it, but you may want to look into that.

My 03 Merc 60 hp 4 stroke is a painted Yammi

You are a dope.... Calling you now....

Suzuki has won approval for its Chapter 11 plan to stop selling cars in the US and concentrate instead on the company's powersports products.

I knew as soon as you saw that Ross I would be getting a reality check. C what I can swing.

Good. You and your father should get both of your vehicles squared away first. Then patiently start your search for a larger boat that will A. allow your father to be more comfortable in, and B. allow both of you to reach more of the fishing grounds you want to fish safely while staying dry . The Lund has been good, but it limits you to fishing in the harbor in too many weather conditions. You guys have gone home wet more often than not... I spent three years looking at 34 hulls, four of which I had surveyed, and walked away from three after the survey, before I bought mine. Knowing the seller can tell you a lot about how the boat has been taken care of. (Take note of how they care for their house and vehicle.) A survey may initially seem like it is costly, but can save you from an expensive mistake. Do not get emotionally attached to any boat you are considering. Network... It can be a matter of being the first one knowing the boat is for sale. Know what your requirements and budget are. Write it down. There is a difference between that and your wish list. I hope your search is short and successful, but don't count on the short part.... The boat for you is out there, you just have to find it.

Just so you know, I bought mine five years ago. It's a 1993, so was 15 years old at the time. Sound hull and solid motor. Yes, a Yamaha 2 stroke! Owner had already committed to his new boat..... That makes for a motivated seller. It helps if you can identify who is considering moving up as no one wants to be a two boat owner.

Yami 4 strokes are the best out board motors in the business today. Just my opinion but I have 981 hours on a 115 and had 1500 hours on a 90 and never had one single bit of trouble.

CUZ YA NEVER LEFT THE SLIP :love:

Hey ross just laid out the situation to my dad and he likes the price of the grady. Now I just got to do is get them to understand its the best idea. I saw prices for that boat in the 25 range in that condition. wish me luck

CUZ YA NEVER LEFT THE SLIP :love:
