| I've heard alot about how great the 4 strokes are but have recently come across a used boat with a 150 suzuki 2 stroke on it for a pretty good price. Has anyone ran something similar to this? How is the reliability of the stroke compare to the 4 stroke? |

Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | I ran a 1850 Fish Hawk last year with a 150 Suzuki 2-stroke and absolutely LOVED that motor.
Best 2 stroke I have ever ran.
Very easy to start, very smooth and very strong.
I would think twice about it. Amazing motor. |

| My panfishing buddy runs a suzuki 60 hp 2 stroke and loves it. Very quiet, very smooth. He is one of those big motor guys. Never uses his trolling motor, just starts up the susy and moves 50 feet, then shuts her down. I tend to think that is hard on an outboard, but he has no problems. Puts 6-10 hrs on it per week. no problems yet. He bought a brand new lund alaskan 1800ss with a 60 merc 2 stroke and ended up trading the brand new 60 merc in for the suzuki after only 6 months. He liked the way it ran much better, idle speeds, noise, etc.
Just thoughts
I run a merc
