Re: Power on an 18'
I am fortunate to have a very good friend who owns a Scout boats and Suzuki OB dealership. He is the only person I entrust with my other boat, even though it is powered with Yamahas.
He and I ran a 20ft Scout CC with the new suzy 140 4 stroke and I am still in awe. That Scout weighs in at over 2000lbs and that engine did not hesitate at all. Very powerfull and sooooo quiet.
There is no doubt in my mind I will be putting a DF140 Suzuki on the back of my 20 once/when I ever finish it [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
I am by no means telling you to go buy one, but if you have a reputable dealer in the area and are confident in the engine I would seriously consider the DF140.
If not, I agree with Snookered and a reputable 2 stroke is also a viable option. From what I have seen the DF140 can many times be less than a 150 2 stroke and on a dyno the DF140 was putting out 165HP, do not hold me to that.
