As a dedicated marine enthusiast, I am always keen on outboard motor developments, particularly in terms of efficiency, robustness, and eco-friendliness. It was with great pleasure that I recently explored the features, capacities, and capabilities of the DF20AS5 by renowned manufacturer Suzuki Outboard Motors, a promising entrant in the 2 - 90 Horsepower category set for release in 2023.
Equipped with a SOHC 4-Valve engine and two cylinders, the motor has a piston displacement of 20.0 (327 cc). It promises smooth, reliable power with a maximum output of 20 HP and an operating range of 5,300 - 6,300 RPM.
Its bore and stroke measurements stand at 2.38 x 2.24 inches (60.4 x 57mm), designed following Suzuki's long-standing tradition of technology and innovation in outboard engines. This hearty offering certainly positions the engine as a stand-out contender in its category.
The Suzuki Outboard Motor DF20AS5 2023 is not short on state-of-the-art features either. It includes a set of standard equipment that bolsters performance, fuel efficiency, and operator experience.
This outboard motor starts manually or manually-electrically, showcasing an impressive flexibility catering to user preference and situational demands. The manual version weighs a manageable 97 lbs, whilst the electric versions, S and L, weigh 106 lbs and 108 lbs, respectively.
Suzuki has leveraged its renowned Battery-less Electronic Fuel Injection system, incorporating Lean Burn Control technology, ensuring fuel delivery is precise, optimised and efficient. Lesser fuel consumption also entails lesser emissions, making this motor an eco-friendlier solution.
From a performance viewpoint, the DF20AS5 ticks all the right boxes. The powerful Digital CDI ignition system, a 12V Alternator (6A for manual and 10A for electric), and 5 tilt pin positions for trim, all combine to deliver a high-performance package.
The outboard motor boasts a gear ratio of 2.08:1, which should offer decent speed and acceleration capabilities. The standard propeller, a 3 x 9.25 x 10, combined with a propeller selection of 7 - 11 further underscores the powerful thrust and control this motor can provide.
The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the DF20AS5 is $4,015, with an invoice cost of $3,210 and an undefined dealer position. Although the cost may seem steep to some, it’s worth remembering that quality, durability, and fuel economy often pay dividends in the long run.
Overall, the 2023 Suzuki Outboard Motor DF20AS5 impresses with its blend of performance, innovation, and efficiency. Suiting a broad range of marine applications, this outboard motor is a promising addition to the 2 - 90 horsepower category. Notwithstanding its impressive features, the DF20AS5 2023 continues Suzuki's commitment to environmental friendliness, making it a win-win prospect for boat enthusiasts and our planet alike.

DF20AS5
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
