for around $600 you get 09 resale and current value. Theres probably nothing wrong with the 07, but the second you stick the key in it and crank it up, its now an 07 used motor, rather than the new motor you just bought. I know you can't get one frpom Ed's marine, but man, he's got the price blown away, he's listing the 140 at $8550(plus rigging, prop, controlls etc.)

Yeah, it's a shame that Ed can't ship as I visit that website often. I'm thinking he takes a hit on the motor but makes up for it on other things. The local Suzuki dealer here says he's part of a group that make their purchases, so he's not just one dealer buying.
Just heard from the guy selling the '94 Johnson 175 OceanRunner...he's willing to sell/install/rig it for $2500....hmmm

I know that Ocean Runner's tempting..but there's nothing like hittin' that key on a new one and the gas you'll save over the next several years will be sweet and who knows what gas prices are gonna do

I highly recommend the DF 140....best motta I have ever owned, and I would bet that it will last forever.
As for differences, I think they are the same as my 2003, except for the paint of course, but I am not sure cause I haven't been looking at new motors since I got mine in 03.

I got a 20, but wish I'd got a 25.
I bought the motor several years before I got the V, I had it on an old Starcraft aluminum boat to start with. Get a 25" and use a jack plate to mount it.
