Suzuki DT 140

[Bateauxbob]

I looked at a 1996 Key West 19' center Console with a 1996 Suzuki DT140. Boat looks pretty clean for its age. The engine looked ok. Don't really know the hours on the engine.<br /><br />This is what the seller says about the engine: <br /><br />"When purchased 2 years ago I put in a new head gasket, fuel pump, water pump, thermostat, popit valve and all lower seals. Runs and idles perfect. Not a drop of water in the lower unit. Compression is high and even across all 4." <br /><br />The question: How do Suzukis compare to other engines? What are their reputations? Are they known as pieces of junk? Great engines? Avergae engines? Engines to avoid? Engines that last for ever?<br /><br />Any advice greatly appreciated.

I have an 1987 Suzuki DT140 and the only thing I had to do is clean out the carbs, replace the head and water gaskets,[no big deal] and replace the fuel pump [a snap]
