Suzuki or Yamaha? And why?

Nice!

So your 140 doesn't run or just leaking from the corroded plug? or did it get into the oil pan?

When mine started leaking I would have idle & stalling trouble after running hard because the exhaust was getting sucked into intake.
If you are mechanically inclined you can get an "Engine Holder assy" & gaskets for about $850. Labor would kill..
I heard of some people cleaning it up and using JBWELD...

What I'm thinking is the exhaust cam locked up and the spit gear everywhere

I think it's like 111 lbs. I need stern weight

111 pounds is the difference. If y'all remember the earlier pics of my boats it shows I need stern weight. Check the chine out in the rear. This boat runs super light

A friend of mine last year what a brand new 30 foot conch and Howard with twin 300 Suzuki he's very happy and goes off shore what it all time baked shrimp and just put a brand new Mercury on his boat not sure what the outcome is

[SkunkBoat]

see! the chain didn't break...

Wow! That's ugly. Did a screw fall out or snap?

[phatdaddy]

whats the price difference in yamaha vs suzuki. on the corrosion issue, don't know about up there, but down here you don't see any 10 -12 year old suzuki's. plenty of yamahas and mercs and old omcs.

150 Yamaha I was quoted 16,550. Ridiculous
