“Having the only 100-horsepower outboard — and a clean, efficient and reliable 4-stroke at that — should give us a competitive edge in the North American boating market,” said Larry Vandiver, Marketing Director for Suzuki Marine. “It will also give boat builders and boaters more choice when it comes to putting together the ideal package for fresh and saltwater applications. Now that we’ve got an all 4-stroke line from 2.5 to 300 horsepower, we’re engineering ways to better meet the needs of the marine industry and its customers,” Vandiver added.

Suzuki’s proven offset driveshaft moves the DF100’s center of gravity forward, for an overall compact design and better balance on the transom. Available in 20- and 25-inch shaft versions, this combination of size, balance and smooth power makes the new DF100 ideal for a wide range of boats — from small center consoles, bay boats and flats rigs in saltwater to freshwater pontoons, runabouts or aluminum fish ‘n ski models.

Suzuki’s powerful 2.59 final drive ratio delivers quick hole shots — great for popping a “flats” boat on top of skinny water or pulling a skier. And thanks to Suzuki’s wealth of high-performance features, the DF100 also delivers great top end performance, and the fuel efficiency to expand your cruising and fishing horizons.

The new DF100 — along with new 70-, 80-, and 90-horsepower 4-stroke models for 2009 — will be officially launched to the North American boating writers and editors at the Ocean Reef Club on Key Largo this May. For more information about the press launch, or to learn more about the new DF100 for 2009, contact Suzuki Marine at (714) 996-7040 or visit Suzuki’s informative website at www.suzuki.com.
