+1 on the Suzuki 140.
I have about 1300+ hrs on mine now, it gets a lot of use here in the Keys.
Parts are not cheap, but nothing is.
I have changed all filters and plugs at every service (120 hrs), And have had to rebuild the Trim/tilt rams once.
No other problems.
I run at 4000-4200 rpms and get 18-20 KTs depending on load and clean bottom.
I also pull pot in season with a lot of in/out of gear. Can't think of a better boat and motor combo.
