Well i have been contimplating these 2 motors for almost a yr now and i still don't know exactly which way to go???I'm really wanting to go with the most powerfull 20hp i can get for the money.I have watched thousands of videos on both and they both seem to be just top notch motors.
Yes one is carb and one is efi.The thing is i live in fl so will it really matter which motor i go with as i don't think a carb adjustment would ever have to be done,is that right???What i mean i will constantly be in the same surroundings with the motor forever so it should always run the same unless i do an adjustment which i don't think i would ever need to.
I really like the features of both,but my favorite of both motors is the self adjustment tilt ratchet system on the merc that makes tilting the motor up and down the easiest to me at of all 20hp outboards.Also no oil filter in the suzuki,is that ever going to have an effect on the motor,nothing to filter the oil,hmmmm.Then i really like the efi on the suzuki,plus how light it is.So what do i do?I can't go wrong either way.
Same warranty on both 3yrs,suzuki is say $2700ish and i can price find the merc for prob under that,say $2300-$2500ish.There all over for that price.This is a tough decision for me,a couple of grand is no chump change for me,especially when still in the back of my mind there is a ton of nice 25hp 2stroke yamahas around,there a dime a dozen,but again your in the 2k plus range for a used motor and for a few hundred more i can go brand new.
The dif between a 25hp 2stroke yamaha and a 20hp 4stroke merc/suzuki is prob only a few mph that i can live with,the amount of gas i would save is priceless with the 4stroke,cleaner motor and knowing whats exacly happened to the motor since new is the big thing for me.So now it's decision time,i want to purchase by the beginning of july the latest,any help on this on what you guys would do,just curious,thanks.
