Those prices are much better than I've been quoted....did you find them online?

Isn't Ryder's Cove Boatyard in Chatham a Suzi Dealer?

Yes, and they're full service too unlike some other dealers that only rig the engines with boats as a package.

I spoke to Alan over at Ryder's, and he was talking about $11 - 12K for engine, guages, etc, installed. Seemed high, and he indicated he did not do enough volume to see the low prices.... I am going to look into the Bayracers post by JW.

I run out of Harwich/South Chatham, so Ryders is bit out of the way (by boat). I had a great relationship with the guys at Stage Harbor, in fact they sold Seacrafts in the old days, and convinced me to go looking for a redone one. Too bad they only sell the Mercs. Does not sound like Merc will have any mid size 4 strokes anytime soon.

It sounds like the best bang for the buck, without giving up quality, is the Suzuki. Now I just need to find a good deal! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Thats where we bought and did the install on the suzi 115 on the seafari I have for sale on this site. My boat is located at my summer home about four house done from there. They do good service there and thats where we are going to be looking for our new boat and setup. You might get a better prices in the spring.

Hi Mike, did you sell'er yet? I was just talking about her today as a matter of fact.
Did my cousin ever get over there? He'll be down next week, I'll give it another plug if the boats still available.

[Mike_D]

finster, No has not sold. Because of the snow there we havent even been down there. Its looks as if were going to have to wait till the snows gone. You cant get the best look until its pulled out of the barn and with snow thats impossible. I think we will be hoping for a spring sale. Just want to let people know that ones around. Thanks for checking up.

I spent a lot of time earlier this winter struggling with re-power options for my '86 20' cc. I had one dealer tell me he thought Susukis had poor corrosion resistance, particularly with water pump bolts etc.. After I heard this I took Susuki off my list. Any truth to this? I settled on a Yamaha 4-stroke 150, figuring to move my batteries forward and eliminate the oil reservoir to minimize the effect of the extra weight over the stern.

I decided to buy the Suzuki yesterday from BayRacer in N.C., my main concern was the weight.I have not heard anything about corrosion problems but I guess I'll find out soon enough.
