Anyone else run a 23 with a Suzuki 350?
 

I searched and found a couple old posts of a 23 repowered with a 350 Suzuki. Anyone else run one? I would like the good the bad. Yes I know the lower units are expensive and so are the props. My boat has a double floatation stoner bracket and I have rebuilt every part with lighter and stronger composites. The fixed and variable CG has been moved forward 14-18” and the floor has been raised 2.5”.

Thank!

Hummmm.......a 300 is perfect, Merc, Yami or Zuke, why the Zuke 350 with it's reliability issues?

If you're referring to the lower unit seal leaks, those issues were fixed a while ago, the newer 350's are enjoying a well deserved reputation for reliability, power and quietness. I have several friends with these engines and, even those that had the leaking issues which were resolved by the factory, are putting a lot of trouble-free hours on their engines.

So, if you're talking about new motor, any words of wisdom on the availability of motors. Figured I'd get in line. I'm only looking for a 225 or 250 though.
