    Why not choose a Zuke? They are great outboards.

    That is a matter of opinion. I personally think Yamaha is the best, but I couldn’t get that now so I went with the Mercury

    I'm seeing quite a few new Suzuki outboards on new boats on Smith Mountain Lake so they definitely are starting to get better distribution.

    Some Yamaha's are good motors, but not all.

    Yes, that boat is at Ron Hoover's in Willis. Was on lake Conroe this past Tuesday. Did 53 on gps. Very nice and a dry ride.

    Guys the towable cover is phenomenal. Not sure who make the cover for Vexus but it's well worth the money.

    Ha, I enlarged the photo and it looked like it said 115, but obviously I was mistaken. Thought about the tandem trailer, but just figured you ordered it that way. So is it a 1980 with a tandem trailer or is it a 2080 with a 150? Cover looks great!!
