I have purchased and am waiting on the delivery of a 2014 bentley 240 cruise pontoon boat and originally thought that it came with a mercury efi 115 hp outbioard engine, i geuss because it was in the brochure pics
but i arrived to test drive & demo the boat & then realized that it came with the suzuki 115 hp engine???
One plus is that the suzuki had a special running for the suzuki engine where the factory doubled the warranty from 3 years to 6 years.
The boat seem to run out fine & quietly but i have just always been a mecury guy but really wanted some feedback from the awesome members of this iboat forum as i value that throughly!!!
I was checking into swapping the suzuki for a mercury engine because there was less than a thousand bucks difference ($720) but i'm now told that since the boat has already been built that there would be some more expense the cables, shifter, dash bd would also have to be changed & that would cost over $1000.00 in addition take more time to get everything iun to do the change out.
And to boot i have a wife wanting the new boat yesterday as i've already sold our existing pontoon boat!!!
And just fyi i feel as though i got a great deal on the price of the boat at $22,500 with out the trailer!!!
Thanks for any & all advice & opinions ya'll could give me!!!
And
ps:the boat will be used in home sweet home, mississippi !!!
