I have a 1994 Duckworth - that's a boat built out here in the NW for our rivers - its a all welded aluminum. Anyway, when I bought the boat with my dad it came with a 2 stroke 85 horse Suzuki. Hardly anyone had one 20 years ago, ran perfect all those years. I finally decided to replace it last March with a new 4 stroke DF90. I looked at all the other 4 strokes and decided the Suzuki was still the best, we see lots of them out here running in the salt. So far I've only got 18 hours on it but its been fantastic, can't hardly hear it when its running, sips fuel and just is a nice motor. I also opted for the Suzuki due to the weight, they are a bit lighter then most of the others except maybe the Etec but that's not a 4 stroke anyway.
Sorry for the long winded reply, but I'm sure you would be more than happy with the Suzuki.
