Yamaha...wouldn't even consider anything related to Suzuki after what I've read here.

Howdy, Lunker.<br /><br />I actually have a Suzuki DF70, unlike most of those gossips who are so quick to bash them. Ask someone besides Steelie who actually has the engine.<br /><br />It is a wonderful engine, light-years ahead of any other 70 on the planet. I have had excellent service from my dealer and from Suzuki. Bombardier's Johnson and Evinrude dealers also offer service on this engine.<br /><br />It is lighter than the Yammy, and it is EFI.<br /><br />The Yammy is a fine engine, but it is a detuned, carbed 100. EFI is the way to go. If you are afraid of the Suzi/Johnson/Evinrude look at the Merc EFI 60.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB
