Thanks Ed! I tell you, it was a close decision and you're correct, of course Honda does offer the same components. The advantage I found in Suzuki was mostly related to the dealer, he was able to sell me a 300 hp engine with digital controls and gauge, remaking the instrument panel and installing the NMEA 2000 network for a lot less money than the local Honda dealer did for a 250 hp engine with manual controls, analog gauges and no NMEA 2000 network. I assume a different dealer may have made a different offer but this being a small town there aren't many to go to, the next closest dealer was 1.5 hours away. That's why you should go to several different dealers, even from the same brand, to ensure you get the deal you want.
