    Suzuki DF150A Parker 1801

    I think for re-powering an 1800/1801, the DF140BG is the way to go. Going on my 3rd season and I've been very satisfied with it. The slight weight increase is un-noticeable. For this boat, its more than enough power. Tops out at 40mph, super quiet and is great on gas. What's not to like. 😁

    Parker 1800 - Yeti Seat Upgrade and Running Board

    Unless you have other issues, there isn't much to do other than fill in the old holes with epoxy. The bigger issue for me was the discoloration under the seat base. I ended up taping off the area and re-coated the deck with gelcoat before mounting the leaning post. It's not a perfect color match...

    Parker 1800 - Yeti Seat Upgrade and Running Board

    Agree! Seat height from the original cooler seat was lousy, at least for us short guys. I think most of us went with the aftermarket leaning post as a fix. The Yeti cooler looks good though. Is there a backer inside the console to resist pulling out the hardware?

    Boat Tarps - Use a good DIY 'A'-Frame & $90 tarp versus shrink wrap @ $20 per foot - PER year!

    Shrink wrapper here too. $600+ for the gun, $200+ for 150' of wrap and $100 for tape, strapping, buckles and vents. My 1800 uses 25' of wrap per season so I'm good for 6 seasons. $900 / 6 = $150 per year. But... from what I've noticed, the gun loses little value over time, so selling it later...

    Weight considerations: repowering a 98' 1800?

    My thoughts exactly! I'm not comfortable WOT unless it's perfectly flat.

    Weight considerations: repowering a 98' 1800?

    I have the Fly-By-Wire. Mine was slightly over that $ but well worth it. :love: 40MPH on the button @ 6100 with the stock Aluminum 3X14X21.

    Can’t fill boat with fuel

    Although I only have an 1800, my neighborhood gas station has a slight slope where you pull up next to the pump. If I pulled in with the bow slightly down, I would have trouble filling. If I pull in from the other direction, bow slightly up, no problem. I didn't change anything but I can get 2...

    2100 DV Fuel Tank Replacement

    Looks like they did a nice job! 👍 You can see the heat marks from where the baffles were welded from the inside.

    2100 DV Fuel Tank Replacement

    Exactly! That crack would be what you would expect from the constant flexing of the aluminum panels. It starts from the inside where there is incomplete fusion at the root of the weld. Also, I'm curious as to what this looks like from the inside?

    Wheelhouse/doghouse build

    Did you get an actual weight on it by chance?

    2003 2510 Suzuki Repower - White or Black

    I had to wait but I went with white(DF140BG). The one good thing about waiting was when I ordered in Sept of 2021, the dealer wasn't sure if I would get a 2021 or 2022 model. I ended up with a 2022.
