The 150 SUZUKI is the most potent 150 ever built, hands down. It's also decent on fuel. That same basic engine was offerred in a 225HP version with dual plugs, different heads, and some other changes. It will be TORQUEY for a 150 too as it is a 2.7L displacement engine. They are a bit heavier than other 150HP class engines though since it is built off of the 225HP platform. Just check it REALLY close for corrsion as engines that sit are the WORST! Just because it was washed up good and sprayed down on the outside doesn't mean that the zincs inside the engine haven't been eaten away from sitting all this time. Corrosion is the #1 problem with a SUZUKI outboard IMHO, and I believe most will agree. Check the prop area very closely as the lowers will split from corrosion in the lower where teh prop slides in. Other than the corrosion and possibly gummed up injectors from sitting if it wasn't properly flushed out before storage, it should be a good engine. The 225HP version of that engine did have some problems with the engines losing a cylinder or piston in the first 100 hours, but I don't think the 150 used the boron sleeves like the 225's which is what normally failed.
