1996 150 2 stroke. Have had it since ~2002
And only had it in the shop once. Starts
up every time. As brought up, only problem

Roanoke or Longview to get alsomeone to work
on it.

Suzuki is popular on salt water boats. There are plenty out there with over 2000 hrs Yep, you see lots of them on the coast.

The four strokes are bullet proof. If you are talking about an older two stroke they didn't have a very good reputation. I ran a 140 for about nine years... Let's put it this way, I'd stick with Merc or Yamaha.
"..The pleasantist angling is to see the fish
Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

I just bought one.... it's a 2002 150 EFI "super six"....it has appx 400 hrs on it, has been well maintained, I'm second owner.
So far I love it....I did some research and was surprised to learn that Suzuki has built and sold more outboards worldwide than any other manufacturer. They also pioneered electronic fuel injection and are the only manufacturer that measures hp at the prop instead of the flywheel. So, they're faster....period.
Good luck. I had this same motor 2001 model on a deck boat. I sold it in 2015 and I’m guessing it had 1200 or more hours on it. About 90 percent of that with a tube behind it. Best combustion engine I’ve ever owned, hands down. Never sputtered and I did virtually no maintainence on it.
