Hi there - My merc 115 has died so im looking for a new outboard . . . Ive found a suzuki 85hp in great condition and price. What I want to know is how much of a difference tht will make to my boat . . . its a 16ft ski boat. I know its 30hp but we use it for wakeboarding. Will it still be on similar terms? Pull us out of the water easily? If anything the old 115 would have been running 100% anyways but did the job fine - so is it fair to say that the newer 85hp will be as good. THANKS!
