Went for a run today in a mates boat that has just had a new Suzuki fitted. Cant beleive what a different boat it is now. with three on board all our gear and pushing the big old Cruisy along at 26mph we were only chew'n 23ltr an hour. My mate said the 200 four stroke will losen up and get better on juice. I have deffinatly made me mind up on what is going on the back of the old sportsfish.
Prices are pretty good now as well. They were pretty deer a couple of months back but now seem to be on par.

What do you reccon!!!!!

I will admit to bias as I have a 175 Zuke. Had a 90 Zuke on a previous boat. There have been no problems coming up to 100 hours & fuel burn (1.6km per liter) seems pretty good to me. ;D;D;D;D

Yeah I would like a new motor too,but is it worth doing on me 1995 model Signature? Logic tells me to flog the lot as is and get more coin without losing Big dollars on the new motor.

Just as well my old motor isn't dead yet cause hell I would do it in a flash otherwise.

And I'm clear of debt so that's a good thing , oh yeah except the house but that's cheaper then rent for the moment so I'm actually saving money .

i have 600 plus hours on our Zuke 140hp in perfect condition, but has just been replaced with a 225 Honda..... all great motors just a price factor i believe. But both brands have different models wich are better then the other hint hint 225.....

I have a 115HP four stroke on my 530C Signature, With 3 on Board and all gear it will do 38Knots on calm water and punch all day at 15 - 20 knot. I love it and no dramas at all with 200hrs under the belt.
