Nothing wrong with the 175, I've read alot of VERY impressive performance reports lately from repowers with them. As for the warranty, SUZUKI will ONLY give you a warranty if the engine is installed by a SUZUKI certified dealer. ED'S MARINE(not 100% certain, but pretty sure it was him) got into ALOT of trouble for selling new SUZUKIS and not installing them, but instead shipping them to the customers. ED's was sued and court ordered to pay for ALL warranty repairs on those engines and lost there SUZUKI franchise over it. All of the manufacturers have pretty well adopted this policy as so many engines were failing due to improper set-up. If your going to buy new, ONLY buy from a certified reputable dealer.

I firmly believe there is no such thing as "overkill".

the 175 zuki wheighs close to the 150, so no or only a small weight penalty over the 150. BTW, I thinks Ed's got in trouble over the Yamaha's, he could have gotten in trouble over both, who knows. I heard Chat-Lee got in a stink a couple of years ago selling e-tecs without installing them

I got my Johnzuki from Chatlee, they loaded it in my pickup for me and sent in the warranty card as well.

Thanks for the correction...When I bought my v20 in '89 I had a Yamaha 225hp put on it. The marina I bought it from said it was "overkill" and said the Yamaha was nicknamed "cheater motor" because it was actually putting out between 235-240hp. I never confirmed this. It was a match made in heaven. When I changed power in '99 it killed me to drop down to the Yamaha 200hp but I did, because the 225 and up would have added all that extra weight. I miss that extra horsepower.

Leaning towards that DF175 because I can get it for $8k and with a warranty. I have a couple of questions though:
1. How much does it usually cost to install an outboard? 2. What would be a good pitch/prop for this motor and a V20 Center Console? Just got a quote for $975 for an install...too much? THanks, Rey Last edited by reyb; 10-17-2008 at 11:31 AM.
