Up to $1,000 Rebates and Successful “442” Two-Stroke Recycling Program
Give Boaters Great Incentives During Spring Buying Season
Suzuki Marine USA is ramping up its spring sales promotions to help drive sales coast to coast and help boaters get great deals on new Suzuki 4-Stroke outboards during the key spring buying season. This includes double customer rebates on all new Suzuki outboards purchased at qualifying boat shows or open houses (up to $1,000 total on V6 225-350HP models) through the end of May 2024. Suzuki Marine is supporting this effort with eye catching “May The Savings Be With You” ad slicks and banners to help dealers spread the word through their websites and social media platforms, in their dealership facilities, at key boat shows and in their own dealership advertising programs.
Through these limited time discounts, Suzuki Marine is giving customers a great reason to act now and purchase a new Suzuki powered boat or repower an existing boat with a fuel-efficient and reliable outboard. With an all 4-stroke lineup ranging from 2.5 to 350 horsepower — including the new 2024 Stealth Line matte black outboards that have taken the industry by storm — there is a perfect Suzuki motor for any size and type of boat.
Suzuki will also continue to partner with its dealer network to get old 2-stroke outboards off the water and have them responsibly recycled though the nationwide Suzuki “442” Program (which stands for 4-strokes for 2-strokes). This effort has been going strong since its release in February 2024 designed to encourage customers to exchange their old 2-stroke outboard technology (any brand, year, size, or type) for a clean-running, fuel-efficient Suzuki 4-stroke outboard.
In addition to providing Suzuki dealers with the ability to offer customers strong discounts, 442 requires that the two-stroke motor(s) it replaces be either scrapped/recycled or destroyed, and the 2-stroke scrap funds be donated to an approved environmental organization. Through the 442 Program, Suzuki Marine has seen an increase in 2-stroke engines taken off the water and replaced with new Suzuki 4-stroke technology — to the benefit of boaters, the marine environment, and various local environmental organizations alike.
Dealers are encouraged to act quickly to take advantage of these sales-driving promotional opportunities. They can contact their Suzuki Marine District Sales Managers to learn more or reach out to Suzuki Marine’s Tampa, Florida headquarters at (813) 687-7200.
Suzuki Marine announced that 442 will continue until further notice. “This has been a very successful program for Suzuki Marine, our dealers and the environment,” said Brandon Cerka, Suzuki Marine General Manager Sales & Marketing. “Our initial goal was to generate 442 new motor sales over the course of the year. Over just a few months, we have already exceeded this target! This means we’ve already taken more than 442 old 2-stroke motors off the water and replaced them with clean-running, fuel-efficient Suzuki outboards. Working with our dealers to pass on added discounts and support key environmental organizations just sweetens the deal even more,” added Cerka.
