Prior to going diesel, we ran a Seahunter 35 with twin 300’s. I have also had great results, minor issues and couldn’t be happier with Suzuki. We used a local dealer near us and had nothing short of superior service if an issue arose. Down time was always kept to minimum. Reliability and durability were never an issue. If you’re handy, minor maintenance is a breeze. Good luck  chrz
