I would go with Sho and different dealer my self. I guess if I had to chose between those two, it would depend on whether you want the most speed or a motor that will be real dependable. The Mercury for speed and the Suzuki for a motor that will run a long time with great reviews for long running.
It find one with a SHO...if you can.

SHO or the Suzuki

Hang on and see if Merc announces some new lighter high horsepower 4 strokes at the Miami show this week end.
UPDATE: New 175, 200, and 225 4 stroke just announced.

Even if your local dealer is not a yamaha or honda dealer cant they just order you the engine/boat configuration you want from bass cat? Or do they have to be an authorized dealer of xyz engine company?
"the head, the tail, the whole damn thing"
I'm pretty certain the dealer would have to be a certified dealer for xyz motor company. If he wasn't, he'd likely not be able to do any service work, warranty or otherwise. Some dealers won't even take a boat as a trade in, unless it has the engine brand that they sell.

Of course I talk to myself...sometimes I need expert advice.
