I'm buying a boat with a Suzuki DT55 on the back of it. The motor was rebuilt 3 years ago, and has only about 20hrs on the rebuild. I know they are a oil injected 3 cylinder 2 stroke motor.

Are they reliable? I only have person experience with Evinrude, and Mercury

Good as any other japanese motor made in Japan, provided that's well taken care of, including periodic services, maintenance, etc.

Happy Boating

That's good to hear. I do see alot of videos of them running pretty damn good. I've never owned a outboard made by the japanese. But they do make some good stuff.
