I have. Went from a 2 stroke Evinrude 70hp to a 4 stroke Suzuki 70hp on a 17’ Arima. My only regret is that I waited so long to make the switch. Pros:Starts and idles better QuieterBetter gas mileage, hence better rangeNo mixing oilNo stinkNo smoke cloudCons:A bit heaverI have to change the oil every now and then

I have a 2016 Merc 90 CT, best engine I have ever owned. I have it bluetooth to my phone and the app gives me all the instant readouts I don't need but like to look at as well as storing the maintenance and prompting at the right intervals. Great power, easy start, runs like perfect.I don't think they make a 70 though, looks like they jump from 60 to 75.Honestly, I think the big names probably all make great engines today.
Top dollar for yams if you can get them. Thought they were on backorder because of demand. 😉🥃🇺🇸

At least a few years ago when I last looked for an engine in that range the Yamaha was the only one that filled the “relatively light” 70 HP niche. Everything else was a heavy detuned 90. And at that point you might as well just go with a 90.I agree all the big brands make good outboards now. I shop based on weight rather than brand loyalty these days.
Having any luck rasbo? 😉🥃🇺🇸
