But, if that doesn't work and it turns out that the engine has a much more serious problem, what would you all suggest? *Would it be wise to have the engine rebuilt and to power up to a 200 as Skools seemed to suggest? *Just curious and trying to think ahead. *

I'm quite the greenhorn, so excuse me for asking this question. *I have a pair of 93 200HP Suzukis. *Does the Sea Drive only accept OMC outboards or would one of my Suzukis work? *
