Jason,

I don't know if you remember this last summer at the ramp, but I have 100 hp V-4 Suzuki on my 18' Olympic. I would offer my opinion that the 140 wouuld be my motor of choice if I could upgrade. It's really the dream motor for my boat, especially with the 4-stroke aspect.

I've run Suzuki's in the salt for 20 years, never had any big problems with them. DO the maintence, go fishing....!!! hello

I think the Arima with that motor is an excellent choice.
