You guys are awesome! There is something to be learned and considered with every post! Please keep it coming!

5 years ago I thought it was all about price and I'll find service when I need it. I think that works for autos but not for boats, espacially in our short season in New England and with today's technology.

I've read the gap between 4's and 2's (specifically the etec) is closing for fuel efficiency, noise, weight and performance and we all know which is ahead where. I would probably lean towards the 4s (and I understand Van, weight is important but the difference is not what it used to be) if the price were the same. It sounds like it may come down to the etec vs. the 4s Suzuki if I pull the trigger and I really want to.

By the way, thanks for the link to the Verado Zacs! I'll be makng that inquiry. I have to wonder why so cheap? It sounds too good to be true, but worth investigating. It must still have significant warrantee which would mean everything in that situation. Get through a season or 2 and you're probably home free as far as getting stuck with a lemon as far as I look at it.

If anyone else knows of a good deal on a late model used 225 HP please post!

Thanks again!
