Very nice! Suzuki makes great engines. The Johnson I have is actually made by Suzuki.

I wondered about the Suzuki engines and how good they are. I heard recently that Yamaha has over 70% of the market in outboards in FL.

I our area of NJ Yamaha is loved mostly by the people who sell them. The newer engines designed to run on E-10 are great. The older engines did not do well with Ethanol and long term storage. We have a short boating season followed by many months. That being said I own 2 Yamahas now and carefully add Startron at every fill-up. I have owned 3 Suzuki's and loved each one. We cannot buy anything but E-10 in NJ.

Suzuki is offering a 6 year full warranty right now and Marine fuel is readily available here.

Fishing has been excellent for Snook and Trout for those with plenty of Whitebait. Shrimp has been ok but the trouble with it is everything likes it. Blowfish, Pin Fish, Needle Fish, small trout and the other day two 161/2 inch flounder AKA Fluke. No I don't know where the whitebait is, I've heard that it's south of us. The Harbor was alive with Glass minnows the other day.

Looks like ordinary Blow Fish to me . Are these edible here, in the Keys we threw them back because of Ciguria poison from the coral.

Thanks Seafood Junky
I was probably more surprised than they were. I did jump a real nice snook on shrimp but he got into some cover before I could stop him.

I have not been able to get on this site all the time. When I do it's shaky and or blinks out.
