[QUOTE="AaronJ, post: 247008, member: 1109"] I do have a 219 on order but am considering the 350 and 400R Verados at this point. I am not sure of North Country has a 350 Suzi on a 219 ordered this year; but would not be surprised if they will in the next couple years (they did repower a brand new, non-current 2017 209 with a 300 Suzi that is up for sale). I have had a Suzuki in the past and loved the motor; but I did rule the 350 Suzi out on this boat for a few reasons most of which play into potential resale concerns of potential buyers when I put it up for sale. Dealer network (which is improving), prop options (new options coming out sometime this year), limited public knowledge of the quality of Suzi outboards, and Merc. pro-staff deal came through again with nice discount on motor. I both make assumptions and know some of my concerns this year will be rectified in the next few (1-3) years which may sway me towards the Suzi line-up. I was in a Suzi 350 powered Warrior this fall. Hole shot was impressive as was the mid range torque. I was not impressed with the top end which is the opposite of most reports I have heard comparing Suzi to Verado on the same hulls. I do know that a lower pitch prop was on the boat to accommodate for the conditions we were fishing in. MPG/fuel consumption was also impressive. Overall I was pleased enough to make it a strong contender for future boat orders. [/QUOTE]
