The engine costs are practically the same between the two. The rigging is more on the merc. (Digital vs mechanical). I’ll get price and delivery on a Suzuki AP just to cover all bases. 3-4 months is what I was told to expect on Suzuki. Yamaha and merc are 6 months or more. I fish on my boat...

The Suzuki 250 is about 3-4 months out. That one was spoken for.

I have a merc 225 on hold. They had one in stock. Still haven’t decided if I want to wait. I’ll make my decision this week. It’s funny because I originally started with that 200 idea :)

agreed. The 300 is out for me. I’ve been cruising around on a 200 for years. I think anything over 225 would be quite noticeable. I bet the 200 I have now is really more like a 190. I do have them holding the DTS merc 225 because that was all I could get. However, the Suzuki 250 is only about a...

Anyone know if the mercs or Suzukis raise out of the water when parked in a slip? I know the yamaha doesn’t.

Anyone know the best place to get some new helm seats. The posts are fine but the seats are tired looking. Skeleton seats would be nice.

I agree. The f200TXRA is a 2002 v6 4 stroke. The weight is 583. The engine gets the boat along decent. However, if I bought the boat new I would have chose the 250. The mid range is lacking on those bumpy days. I’m honestly good with most of the new outboard offerings. Having said that...

I know. Tough call. The only one that comes in relatively quick is the Zuki 250. Kinda wanted something lighter.

Only 225 available locally :(

I know the mercs have been out for a few years now. I’m considering the 250 v8. How’s the reliability? I’ve seen mixed reviews but most seem favorable. The 225 v6 is also in the mix. Most of my boats have had Japanese motors which lead me to the Zuki 250. The lighter weight of the merc is nice...

Perfect. Thank you!

Anyone have a link to replace a Porta potti in a 228? Are they standard? Someone broke the latch that holds it to the floor.

Looking at the 250 zuke and 225 merc currently. I hit a lot of chop where I’m at.

Yea I think I scrapped the 200 i4 idea. I’m looking at the Mercury 225-250 as well as the Suzuki. I like the Mercs for the lower weight.

Hey Folks, I have a 2001 228 that I am looking to repower. It currently has an F200 on it and it gets along good. I can get a good price on a new F200 but it is now a four cylinder. The new F200 is supposedly 15% more powerful than my current block. Has anyone repower with the new 200. Is it...

Is the stern lift a prop? Im not familiar with that.
