NICE choice of power! Sorry to see you selling ...
 
Thank you Dale and Megabyte. I am just hoping to upgrade to a larger boat since I have a lift on the water. I love my Parker and have it just where I want it. I just think if I am ever going to go bigger, this is the time to do it. And I feel it would be nice for a buyer to have the comfort of a couple years of warranty on the engines. Added a couple more pictures.

Nice boat! Good luck with the sale.

I'm not familiar with Suzuki outboards. Why did you guys choose Suzukis? Are there any advantages over other brands, like Yamahas? Was it pricing or warranty?
 
Badfish, for me it was several reasons I went with Suzuki over Yamaha. I had twin 150 4 stroke yamahas. I ended up with the infamous exhaust corrosion on one engine and had to have the powerhead replaced. Then a couple of months later my boat was stolen. It was found untouched with the exception of the motors which were gone. (The thieves didn't even go into the pilothouse and actually drove the boat through a very narrow gate without even a scratch to the boat). When I brought the boat to local Yamaha dealer to get the engines replaced, the manager showed me 7 other boats on the lot all missing Yamaha engines. In south Florida at least, there is a huge Bulls eye on Yamaha 4 stroke motors seemingly much more so than other brands. (Not that any brand is safe from theft). With that in mind, along with the corrosion issues (which are now fixed I think)plus a lot of research on other engine brands, I decided to go with Suzuki's. I was able to get 175's over 150's, free 6 year extended warranty, and complete rigging for dual stations for less than the Yamahas were going to be without the rigging and without the extended warranty. I don't regret it one bit and I love the Suzuki's! I don't know the fuel numbers for comparison but I am very happy with my fuel consumption.
 
What do you use for a tow vehicle? I think I saw an Avalanche parked in front of it in one of your Craigslist photos.
 
I do use the Avalanche to tow the boat. But the boat primarily stays on my lift so I don't tow it that often anymore. However, the Avalanche pulls it very well.
 
I am putting my boat back on the market. The only changes are the price and the hours.
The current hours are 227.
New price is $64,500.

Please pass it on if you know anybody interested.

Thank you.
