Re: Suzuki DT140 2001
The DT is the two stroke 140. I've heard they were reliable, but I have no personal experience with one. I do remember people snapping up the DT's when they were dropped from production, so those motors did have some fans.

Re: Suzuki DT140 2001
I aked over on THT awhile back about them, the only real down side that was posted was that they are a little lacking on the bottom end for getting the boat on plane. But with the EFI they were supposed to be decent on fuel.

Re: Suzuki DT140 2001
Can't read the capacity plate on my 83 V20. What is the max engine weight that I can hang off the transom? It already rides pretty low with my old 175 Merc?

Re: Suzuki DT140 2001
The SUZUKI 140 is pretty light by modern standards. You should lose a few pounds by going to the 140.

Re: Suzuki DT140 2001
I am also looking at one of these. I am dropping down from a 200HP. Do you think the 140 is underpowered for the V? I love Suzuki products. I had a Suzuki motorcycle and it ran like a beauty.

Re: Suzuki DT140 2001
I am running a Johnson 140 4stroke which is a Suzuki DF 140 painted white. It is great on my V-20. Top speed with my old prop (19 pitch) was 40 mph (gps). I just put on a 21 pitch prop which lowered my cruising rpm by 400-500 rpm however I haven't done a top speed run. (The ICW was so full of boats I couldn't open her up).
Oh, I get about 5 mpg as well. ;D
