Sportcraft gave us $300 for it as a parts motor. I did salvage the Michigan Wheel stainless steel prop (won't fit the Suzi, so if anyone with a Honda BF150 is interested, contact me) and the hydrofoil from it.

| Thanks I need one little part off a BF150. I'll reach out to them. How many hours did you have on it and what happened? Hope mine lasts long and prosper or I'll go black like you! |

Hey Pat, is that an Alaskan Camper in the background of the photo? Nice! |
Yes, it is...but we just sold it, we have signed a Purchase Order for a new Northern Lite Sportsman Plus 9-6. The best part of the story, however, is that Biill and El's son Brad bought it! |
Pat, you will like the Northern Lite. We have the NO 10-2. You will find that you’re going to feel top heavy as compared to the Alaskan. If there is too much sway, consider air bags to level it out, and a Helvig BigWig sway bar!
Congratulations to you and Patty!

It was a 2005, and it was just old and tired, well over 2,000 hours, maybe a lot over. Sportcraft said "the numbers" were bad, I assume they meant compression. It ran but according to West Coast Marine in Bellingham, there was a lot of blow-by (rings?). It was also very salty, which is understandable, 800 hours on the Great Loop and never got fresh water flushed while we cruising in salt water - it was in the water the whole time. We decided to re-power before it left us stranded somewhere. I don't think in the end it owed us anything. |

Hi Pat,
Congratulations on the new engine. I thought you were located in north of Portland.
I love my 2017 115hp Suzuki and 9.9hp kicker also the gauge is way better than Yamaha. The Suzuki has the sweetest sound under power. Note: the 9.9 engine has an oil filter. One of the only kickers to have one and it is not easy to change if you have little mechanical aptitude. I have a couple pictures in my album.
I had some issues with the repair of my 115 at Sportscraft. (Missing bolt on fuel rail) had to go back they never found the original and they gave me a different colored bolt to replace the one they lost. I had to put it on myself. They also scratched the cowling.
They did fix the problem. John in parts is top shelf and always super helplful.
Hope you have a great time with the 200HP. Suzuki makes really great outboards. The fuel injection on the 9.9 starts so fast even in cold temperatures.
