My brother had a 70 hp 4 stroke Suzuki and it was a really good motor. It was a really quiet and strong runner. Ed's Marine https://www.edsmarinesuperstore.com/suzuki_outboards.htm is selling them for $2625 and newoutboards.com https://www.newoutboards.com/ lists your motor for $2450 so your price looks pretty good.

Looks like a about the same price for a tohatsu motor. Think I would rather go with the Suzuki. I just picked up a evinrude brochure and really liked this new 15hp H.O. motor they just came out with. I would really like the clean e-tec two stroke. Dealer said its about 3 grand though.

xr7, I've had two Suzuki 15hp 4-strokes a 99' and currently a 09' both great motors and strong runners. If you look at some of my past post there are some performance testing I did for another member who couldn't make up his mind. My boat is a Lowe 1436 and with myself gas and a small battery I was getting around 27mph GPS. I was going for a good, strong, and light 4-stroke and I have been very happy with my Suzuki. I think the Tohatsu/ Mercs are 10lbs. to 15lbs. heavier. I got mine from a place out west called Porta botes, they sell a folding boat and had the best deal when I was looking. The only problem I encontered was the stock prop was no where near enough pitch, easy fix and now I have a spare or a prop to pull skiers :wink: . Good luck

Suzuki 4 strokes are pretty tight little motors. Suzuki has more safety redundancy systems than anyone out there...systems that backup systems that back up systems. LOL.

It is a solid choice.
