Hey all,
I have the opportunity to purchase a 2001 Suzuki 15hp four stroke from a local marina. Electric start, tiller, short shaft. I really don't know a whole lot about Suzuki motors having only owned Yamaha and Johnsons. Are these any good? I saw the motor listed today and have yet to see pictures of it.
Price is $595. Providing it's in good shape cosmetically and runs well, is this a fair price? Are these motors known to be reliable? Any and all feedback would be great!
Ideally I'd like to move up to a 20hp but the price is right on this. I currently have a 2 stroke Johnson from the same year. Also electric start. It's a strong runner, but I'd like to repower with a 4 stroke for a couple reasons (quiet running, no mixing gas, etc). A quick google search shows the Suzuki is only about 20lbs heavier than the Johnson so that's good.
Thanks!
