Cool New Suzuki 200 hp four stroke

Anyone have any experience with them? Thinking of pulling the trigger, but I have zero experience with fly by wire controls and the weight scares me.

I've worked on a few of them, no real issues. AS far as DTS controls, Suzuki has the most affordable. They have a bit more power than the Yamaha 200. Merc is the best in class at that hp level

Don't know. Have to look up the stats. Right now I have a 1993 Mercury 2 stroke 200 HP' Nothing wrong with it, just thinking about the age and the fuel consumption.

That's an older picture. The prop is stainless now and the bimini is now a hard cover with rocket launcher on the back and Raymarine radar in front. All covered for the winter.

Destroyer, what are you going to do with your old mercury? I might be interested in it. I love the 2 strokes and I have a 1988 150 now. Let me know.
That***8217;s a 6 cylinder too I think.

Weight wise, if u can eliminate the kicker when u get the 4S, might be a wash.

Still not sure on pulling the trigger on buying a new engine. But if I do I'll give you first shot at mine. (BTW, it's a very special engine. Several years ago I bought an aftermarket electronic unit and removed the plastic oil metering gear that was causing all these engines to break due to no oil, so no need to mix the oil and gas). Best $400 conversion you could give these engines.
