I see that Ranger has stopped listing Suzuki motors on their website. I've been interested in the RP190 center console since it came out, but only with a Suzuki motor. Is that still an option?

We can order the boat and trailer only and put a Suzuki on it. Bass boys only want Yamaha, Mercury, or an occasional Etec. Ranger stopped carrying the Suzuki for that reason.

Some people are too carried away with name brands instead of quality in my book. I understand why you want the Suzuki. It's the best. I chose the Yamaha on my Ranger because when I sell it, it will be easier to sell with the Yammie than with the better Suzuki engine.

what makes the suzuki better than the yamaha or the merc?

Ive sold over 500 in my career from the 2.5 to the 250SS, and I've never had a mechanical warranty claim, They Don't Break. Oil bathed timing chain instead of a belt, quieter, faster, cost less, 6 year warranty, etc. The main thing again is They Don't Break. The majority of the catfish tourney teams run Suzuki. That's kind of Suzuki's niche. Day after day, they just hold up. If you talk to anyone who has bought one, I bet they'll buy another one. Like I said, The best out there IMHO.

I sure love my Suzuki 115SS on my Ranger RT188C!

i have a Suzuki 90 on my current boat. In the past I've had Mercury and older Johnson and Evinrude. There honestly is no comparison, the Suzuki is better in every way.

If you ever go down to the gulf, look and see what most of the outboards are. Dependability is critical when going offshore. A LOT of Suzukis down there.

I also go to the gulf alot . Tohatsu
is really going places with the folks down there . Outstanding warranty and talked about alot on their fourms.
I will also say that just about all the guides down there run yammies ?
Also many perfer Mercs only if they are 115 hp, or greater ?
Personally im with a Suzuki when i buy , dont think you can go wrong.

I have the Tohatsu engines also. Good engines too. No trouble with them. I still say Suzuki is the best tho.
