Gary,

I am a Suzuki guy all the way but if you have little or no dealer support than go elsewhere. The Opti 225 seems like the best deal and they have alot of power. The only downside is rust and fadeing. My Suzu's are 2001 and the paint shines like it's 2 years old. No rust anywhere, just 1 or 2 small paint bubbles on the leg. Anyhow, my friend has an '02 opti and the cowling is faded worse than a 1977 fiat and it has rust everywhere. My motors are 3 star so I disagree with the above statements on meeting emmissions.

It seems like perhaps shopping around some other Yami dealers would be a good idea. In the long run resale will be much better IMO with a 4 stroke. Mine are nearly flawless after 7 years, Ask Snookered, he was blown away by the power, smoothness and lack of noise on my little 115's. I get 25kt cruise at 10gph and 4000 rpm and 38-40kt wide open depending on load at 5950 swinging 24 SS props. .

Capt Brian.....I like the idea of using twin 115s.....
I have a Tsunami to power and I have a Seamark twin bracket.

I located another Suzuki dealer in Blaine, WA. This is right at the Canadian border crossing. Called them and talked a little bit, they are new dealership, bought somebody out because of a line of Boats they carry. The guy said he would have sales people check out pricing and get back to me. He was not sure if the hydraulic cylinder steering arm on my Seacraft would work or not.

Would you be able to get a motor mounted if one was shipped to you? I may be able to help but they are in Fl and it might be tricky to find someone to mount it. Best deals from them will be Etec's, they are dealer and found a line on great late model motors from BRP - the guy just stole a 250 for his 23. BRP has been very testy on shipping new motors as they were nabbed twice but still may be able to help.

I doubt if the local dealer would touch it because of warranty issues. I've been told they have to be set up by a dealer to validate the warranty. My old Mec wrench is under the radar right not. He got nabbed for selling METH. I would never have guessed it. He was a Merc Master Mech w/his own shop. Goes to show what that stuff can do to a person.
