Fellow whaler enthusiast once again I'm in need so some good advise. I need to re-power my whaler is a 13' 1980 sport and the old 35hp 2 stroke johnson has not been very reliable lately, (good thing I have a sea tow membership). I'm looking at the new 30hp suzuki DF30ATL outboard, it comes with all controls cables, remote control fuel line, gas tank and propeller as well so I won't have to spend money there and is fuel injected. Also another good thing about this motor is that it weights 158lbs not too heavy for my old 1980 sport. I would like to hear your thoughts on this. Performance, reliability past experiences etc. I'm planning on using the boat mostly to cruse down biscayne bay here in miami fl.
