I'm going to look at a zuke tomorrow and I need some help. For one, the current owner doesn't know the year, but it's a 40hp and the paint style is mainly a ligt orange. I know that's vague but does anyone know what year it may be? Also how are 70's-80's zukes supposed to hold up? Are they realiable? Would $1000 be a good price to pay for a 40hp without controls?

Re: Few Suzuki questions...

It's probably a late 70's model. My 83 30hp Suzuki ran perfect for the year that I had it. I haven't heard too much bad about them.
I am thinking the value is more like $500 or less. If you have $1K to spend on a motor then buy a Johnson or Evinrude because parts are cheaper and more available.

$1000 in my opionon is high no matter the geographic location.
