Hello, I was looking for some solid advice. I am after a brand new engine for my boat and I am looking at a 60HP 4 Stroke ( for personal preference only I am not interested in 2 stroke ) but trying to find out what people recommend. Either Mercury, Suzuki, Evinrude, Yamaha or Honda! Thanks

Quoteshadow60 (3887 )5:40 pm, Wed 19 Dec #3 Suzuki has recently released a new range of four-stoke motors, with improved technology. I understand (though I could be wrong) that they are pretty much the benchmark, but they are not cheap. I have a direct injection 2-stroke Evinrude, and the economy is comparable to a four stroke, and the emissions are in fact lower. Plus the weight is significantly less.

What is the boat and length! 4 Strokes are heavier and can put a lot of extra weight on the transom. Nothing wrong with a good reliable 2 Stroke up to 90hp, and easy to maintain.
