The merc was great, right to the point the crank broke on the bearing at the bottom of the motor
.
Lot's of power, but thristy, and ate oil. The suzuki is down maybe 5% in power from the merc, but the economy is incredible.
I went from burning 50-70 gals of gas and 2+ gals of oil to burning 32-46 gals of gas. Gut my fuel bill in 1/2.
