My old friend (got married) just bought a new Alumacraft 18 or 19 ft. Fishing Walleye Boat with 175 Suzuki Motor... He tends not to ask anyone before he gets educated by Salesman.I have no knowledge of new Motors but I think I would have bought a Major brand (Mercury, Evinrude or even Yamaha) for repairs, parts or resale. Is there any educated tips(prop or motor options or tweks ) he should get before delivery ? What do you think of the New 2019 Suzuki 175hp ? I haven't seen him in 5years so I can't say anything negative because he has a contract.. I believe its the first year of the 175 and that scares me a bit too..
