    Yes....93 Suzuki DT85 And I can not answer your question. I did not start this forum. I got a notification one day that all my posts about the compression of my motor were moved to a new forum started by someone else.

    It is a Suzuki. And yeah I know this.....Just don't know If I want to rebuild it. I got it cheap enough on a gamble. Don't know if the parts for it are still in production or where to find them. Don't know if it would be beneficial to rebuild or buy a functioning one from a shop.

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    I definitely want something slip resistant but not sure yet about carpet. Did not like how the carpet that I tore out looked.

    Quick question... just saw a bunch of poly board for sale near me really cheap..... could I buy this instead of plywood and use it to glass in and rebuild the boat? Wouldn't have to worry about rot anymore.... research also hints that it's stronger and lighter than plywood. Thoughts?

    It originally was just pertaining to the boat, but I also like tinkering.....so with that being said, my plan most likely will be to continue working on the boat, and if needed, get a newer motor/ controls. I will possibly hold onto his motor and work on it over time to see if I can't get it...

    If I ever buy new, I think I might stick with Suzuki. I have a dealership up here that works solely on Suzukis.

    Yup....I knew that I was gambling when I got this motor but it was cheap enough and I can make that money back with a couple 4 hour shifts of overtime. I think I will hold onto it for now and work on it over time and try to get it running. I know a guy who has rebuilt outboards before who I...

    It's not a force... it's a Suzuki..... but I am thinking the same thing... not afraid to spend that kind of money though..as long as I get a working engine out of it whether or be to bring this motor back to life or spend that much for a working used one.
