[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 319810, member: 6843"] Lovedr79,thats the first time i have ever heard someone say that about the merc,sluggish,rough and under powered.What size boat are you running it on if you don't mind me asking?Every person that i have talked to says the opposite.Rem i'm only putting it on a 190lb 14ft lowe jon boat so i think either motor would do good.The thread your talking about is mine.I posted on here about it when it first came out and alot of people chimed in on it.Of course if you have a heavy boat it won't perform up to par.Ok i see you have a 1448 grizzly,it that what it's on? I like the idea that it weighs just 97lbs and it's efi(suzuki)I like the ratchet tilt system on the merc,plus the controls are all in one handle.The merc is a 351cc motor with a 2.15 gear ratio and the suzuki is a 327cc motor with a 2.08 gear ratio.Maybe since the suzuki is almost 20lbs lighter it will make up for the higher gear ratio and the cc's of the merc.Just a thought.
