Hi Robin,

I had a Poly 530 with a Suzi 115. I was very happy with the motor and the boat. Time constraints and an interest in impoundment fishing means yet another new boat for me. ::)

It's a shame they're not rated to 140 as I think that would be even better, although the 115 got it along at up to 34 knots regardless of the conditions, and I never had even a hint of a problem with it.
