Rats! I was hoping that at least one member of this group would have
had personal experience with the Suzuki portable outboards, especially
the 4hp and the 6hp to offer some insights as to their functionality,
endurance, noise level, trolling , etc. Haven't received too many
replies in the other boat group either so guess Suzuki's don't have
that many users. Thanx to the ones who responded though. Jay

I don't have direct experience with them, but if you really are just
trolling around, the 4 will beat oars handily.

MY concern with any outboard is that you have adequate support where
you live and/or cruise. We have a wonderful ancient Honda, but no
dealers that I can get to without taking time off of work.

I'd feel safest with two nearby shops with good reputations, and at
least one day they're open past 5 PM.
