    Suzuki DF30ATHL outboard motor review

    Not sure about the support for that brand might want to make sure you have a dealer close by if need be. I just bought a new EFI Tohatsu 30 with tilt/trim /electric start and multifunction tiller. It is sweet. May be about the same price as it was for me.
