I do love my older motor, but its time for an upgrade. I have multiple other boats with computer controlled engines. Never had an issue that couldn't be figured out on the electronic side. I need a newer engine due to needing more range and piece of mind. This boat use to run short trips around my house but due to the love of the hull design and ride quality I've been using it for my longer trips.

Very true, 2002, i went from a 2 to 4 stroke, and went from 100 mile range to 200. I have put 560 hours on the engine in 5 years. I figure i have saved about 4 gallons an hour of run time. 560 x 12.00 =6720.00
So when i get 1000 hours on the motor, it will have paid for itself. At last thats how i justified it to myself

I repowered with the 175. My previous engine was a Yamaha 200 HPDI. The 175 burns a little less fuel than the 200 did, around 4 GPH with a good amount of trolling/slow speed running. My cruise and WOT numbers are about the same as what you said. So far I'm very pleased with it.

I was really hoping that a 175-200 suzuki would give a 37-40 mph cruise and closer to 50 top end.
