Looking at the prowler 175. I have two dealers in the area to shop at. I had wanted to get the prowler with an evinrude e-tec 75hp. so here is how they lay out:
Cabelas will order it for me. Evinrude 75hp with a 55lb minnkota and a garmin 7sv
boat dealer has a prowler in stock. Suzuki 70hp with a 55lb minnkota and a hummingbird 7si
Prices are similar, but when I was shopping I was looking for the E-tec 75hp. I guess my question is should I stick with the Evinrude and order it, or should I go with the Suzuki? Another factor would be that the closest Evinrude service center besides that cabelas is a couple hours away, and the Suzuki is only 30 minutes.
