I really like the Ranger 250C, and I like the idea of a newer single 300 4 stroke.

I hear a lot of talk about Suzuki's being prone to corrosion, although my 14 year experience with my Johnzuki 140 has been nothing but positive.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Suzuki. They are no more or less likely to have a problem than any other major brand. While looking at boats during my search, every 2003 Yamaha 4 stroke made the point of saying that the exhaust (corrosion) had been replaced. I can say that my 140zuki looks a lot better at 14 years than my Merc150 did at 11 years, Tstat holes were a corroded mess.
But Yamaha and Mercury make good motors too.
