Shoot I bet the 140 Zuk would push one ok. Those zukis got plenty of grunt and get good milage. SUPER quiet too! A buddy of mine has a 140 on a bay boat....its sweeet. Hard to get parts and a good mechanic for around here though. ;D

that should push one good they are both OMC/Suzuki 140 both built by same people. I wish i had a 140 Suzuki 4 stroke for my 19' Sea Ox Skiff.

I use to have a 95 Suzuki 1100 GSX-R loved that bike and they run great if there 4 stroke outboards run as well as there bikes they'll last forever and have a ton of power even with alot of hours.

I got a Zuki 9.9 that was on my aluminum boat that I am going to put on my v20 as a kicker as soon as I figure out how to get helm steering, since the v has a bracket 28". That motor runs like a top, is 12 years old starts first time everytime and I have been less than kind with my maintanence habits, but Lord Skools in this area (nj) you better be a zuki certified tech and have connections in Tokyo or you are going to have problems if you need something

Skools, I love Zuki bikes...I had an 850 ut the 1100 GSXR is bad. 8)

Me to, 850 G shaft drive, two diffrent GS 1100's , I have owned 13 bikes and my friends and family dozens more and nothing was as smooth - reliable - powerfull as those Zukies but you can get parts for the bikes and dealers are around. Not a one of them will look at a marine motor.

Cool Willy! Thats what I had...the 850g shaft..Nice bikes, I totally restored mine and it was midnight metallic blue. I wish I had a picture.

Those 1100g's are hard to come by in good shape. They are fast too. How fast was your 1100?

mine went 5.60's in 1/8 mile at 142 mph. but would run much faster if you could hold on. But it was lowered and the swing arm had been cut and extended by 14". I'd love to have a 99 or older GSX-R 1300 UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

I never took mine to the track, but I will tell you this, I was on the road playing around, you know one of those afternoons when the sun was on the decline and the air just whispered to ya " time to ride" and I got on a slight uphill winding out in second , and I mean I was moving. popped in 3rd and the front end came off the ground about a foot, first time I had ever done that and once the urine finished running down my leg I just let it have its head and stayed like that all the way up the hill.. My wife and I would load it up with all our camping gear for a week and head into New England, what a smooth powerfull ride. It was like I was riding solo, had so much torque . We once were on the Kangamangas Highway in New Hampshire and I looked in my mirror and saw a nasty thunder boomer right on my ***. Twenty some miles to town on a big sweeping curve highway, no traffic beautiful mountains. I looked at my wife and said we can stop and put the rain suits on or we can crank Zuki up and make a run for it She Just Smiled and said we're still here 8) Never forget that ride or that gs 1100
