I'd consider who is strong in the P&A business in your area. If your local BRP dealer is willing to offer service and / or parts for the Suzi then you're probably OK. Many BRP dealers don't want to get involved with the Suzi motors.

Replacing a crossflow 150 with a 60* 150 looper will be an eye opener for sure.

whats the difference between the crossflow and the looper

Re: 2000 johnson 150 ocean pro

Your 90* 150 crossflow is 1950's technology. The 60* 150 looper is 1990's technology. The crossflow and looper refer to the way the fuel charge is introduced into the combustion chamber. At one time I had a 20' Dusky (tank) and we ran a 60* 150 or a 200 crossflow. My wife refered to the crossflow as a chugger and the 60* 150 as a zinger. Night and day difference.

Re: 2000 johnson 150 ocean pro

weel the 150 vro pushes it about 25-30 knots at about half throttle

cause it just a #6 rebuilt

but over all the ocean pro is a beter engine

doesthis ocean pro does use the sustem check gauge correct
