Suzuki DF 140's
 

I know some here have them but a friend of mine is getting a new boat with one and was wondering how they perform, hold up and how well you like them?

I absolutly LOVE mine.

I know I've posted all this before, but I'll do it again cause I like seeing it in print.

I average 5 mpg (statute) with the 140 on my V-20 Cuddy (usually cruising at 20-28 mph most of the time. I get a top speed of 40 mph. It is so quiet that I don't know its running at idle. No messing with oil, except to change it in the winter. No smoke or smoke smell. It starts on the first crank every time.

I bought mine in July of 03 and have done nothing but change the oil in it. I am thinking about doing the waterpump this year, just because.

I think it is the perfect motor for me and my V.

Thas good to hear. I want one for my 18. I think it would be SWEET on the 18.

I've heard mostly good reports about Suzi 4 strokes. I'm thinking about a 90 Suzi for my new (to me) Pro-Line for next year. Hopefully.

I occasionally run into an older gent at my ramp....he has a v20 w/ a 2005[?] zuke140.....claims to have 1100 hours on it already, 1100!! Says it hasn't missed a beat. I've tried to speak to him in detail but he's kinda grumpy and doesn't say much.

Mine is great but I only have 15.4 hours on it so I can't give you a fair evaluation.

TH, your mission, if you chose to except it, is to put at least 100 hours on that baby this year.

This thread will self destruct in 5.....4.....3....

Phes, he's probably thinkin, "dam young whippersnappers ask too many darn questions!"
:booty:

Repowered with zuki DF140 last July. Love it. Plenty of power, good fuel usage, quiet. Between my son and I we put 250+ hours on it between July and September. There are three other DF 140 owners at my club. The oldest is 8 years old with absolutely no problems.
