Suzuki DF140?

[SkunkBoat]

WAIT!!!! Forget what I said!!! I just got a call yesterday from my dealer who was doing the annual maintenance before I covered her up.

Says there's a tiny hole corroded in the exhaust. Leaking exhaust under the cowling. My six year warranty was up last March.
Gonna cost $1800 to fix right. "...Corroded from inside-out so you can't really clean it up and patch it. Have to take the head off to get at it so might as well replace the part....."

I 'm going to look at it this week. I'll get the details and take pix and post for future reference.

Wouldn't you just know that literally the day after I say "never had a problem with corrosion." I'm screwed...

I sure hope you don't read this the day AFTER you bought it.

Now I get to stew all winter

All that being said, I've heard sad stories about every make of motor. So when it comes down to it, you pay your money and you take your chances.

As for price..
In 2004 mine was $9525 before NJ Tax, incl installation, SS prop, & 3 yr ext of warranty. Which was more than $3k less than a Honda 130 at the time.

Good Luck with whatever you get.
