Has anyone come across the new Suzuki 4st outboards.
They are supposed to be the fore runners in new outboard motors, liter than a two and as much power.
I hear they are selling them with the Haines Hunter boats after OMC went bust but that is as much as i have heard.

Just found some info on i-net about these motors and they quote saying that for a 40/50hp motor the fuel saving for a conventional 2 stroke is 75% and 30% better than other 4 stroke engines.It would be great to see how they run.

As far as I know the OMC didn't go bust, but was bought out by Bombardier. They still manufacture Evinrude and Johnsons.
Suzuki has dissapeared from the Australian market few years ago and now they are back, but distributed by Haines Marine. Thats all I know. I suppose it is worthwhile to ask the owners of Suzukis in general to tell us their experiences.
