First off, I know nothing about the Northcoast boat. But from discussuions here on this and other sites I can tell you that Suzuki's have a rep for corrosion... something to do with the metal they use. They are also great engines except for the corrosion factor.
As far as the boats go... why not have two?

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
