Raising transom to 25"

[cSickNick]

My options are 115 to 140/150, depending on what brand I chose. A local Suzuki dealer is saying the 140 is actually rated at about 130 (shaft), based on "dyno" testing, and their 115 actually puts out 120-125HP. He says the best deal he can offer is on the 140 (<10K), but the best buy (Suzuki) for the SeaCraft is probably the 115 (6.5-7K+/-). Any opinions on his comments?

I am not sure why, but it seems like Zuke dealers are pumping up the price on the DF140. When i purchased, prices seemed to be within a $1K. Now it seems more like $2K+.

Is it just the DF140 demand? Or they trying to clear out DF115? What's the deal? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I can testify that the DF140 has been a great flawless motor [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img], but if repowering today ... $2k+ ... i would rethink my options ... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Well, at least us 4-stroke Zuke guys have hundreds of thousands of hours before our kids think about the next repower! [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
