My 11 year old Suzuki DF50 with over 120 reliable hours with no real love and tenderness shown, finally gave me one spot of trouble.
So being the fair person I am, I got rid of it immediately.
Traded in on Suzuki's just released DF60A. They shaved 47kg of the previous DF60 model, so it was lighter than the old 50 by a kilo or so. Includes lean burn technology (cheaper on fuel again), and bonus 10HP.
Got over 15 hours on it so far, and what an upgrade! Quieter, faster, quicker out of the hole, and more efficient.. Oh, and I think it looks prettier too. And has a hose attachment for easy flushing (me like lazy).
Picture attached of the little beastie hanging off my rig, with Gloucester Island in the background. Trip was from Bowen Harbour, heading into Dingo Beach for Sunday lunch... Should travel the extra 40km's and visit pommy-git.
Haven't pushed the motor too hard, or fiddled with the prop too much. But the 4.55 Cuddy with two adults, one child, etcetera sat on 34km at 4200 RPM.. Max speed was 54km, but not full revs yet.
I'd recommend this upgrade to anyone.. Awesome step forward in technology.. Any advice/opinion on the prop would be appreciated though (Would love to push the limits)..
Cheers
