Can someone confirm that there is going to be a DF 175 coming out soon?

abe - This was announced at the miami boat show.
There will be a 150 and 175 coming out this fall.

[Fr. Frank]

The DF 150 & 175 are supposed to be in the 515 - 540 lb range depebding on shaft length, according to an exec at Pro Line in Homosassa, FL. Pro Line is considering adding Suzuki to their available pre-rigs. Mercury is objecting. Pro Line currently pre-rigs Merc & Yam. They will also rig Evinrude on a special order if YOU supply all the necessaries.

Frank - I've heard from a suzuki dealer that the engines will be around 450lbs. There big inline 4 cylinder engines . . . similar to the yamaha 150 (only more cubic inches).
