It's not often that a product captures my attention, especially in the line of outboard motors. But the latest release from Suzuki's renowned lineup, the 2023 Suzuki Outboard Motor DF150APL5, has me pausing my routine to take a closer look.
Residing comfortably within the category of 100 - 200 horsepower, this outboard motor signifies the epitome of Suzuki's engineering prowess. Housing a DOHC 16-Valve engine with a piston displacement of 174.9 inches (2867cc), this product manages to turn heads with its high performance and robust strength.
Suzuki has kept the end-user in mind while designing this product. It features a Multi Point Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection system, ensuring maximum efficiency. Furthermore, the robust Solid State Direct Ignition system sets an impeccably high standard in the industry.
This model is available in either a Pearl Nebular Black or Cool White shade, both of which paint an elegant picture when combined with its sleek design. But the reliable model doesn't compromise on operational convenience its starting system is electric, placing ease of use at your fingertips. Furthermore, the propulsion system is designed for maximum efficiency with a power trim and tilt feature.
Another important aspect to consider is that the weight of the motor is remarkably measured, coming in at around 511 for the Mechanical L variant, indicating a balance between power and maneuverability.
I must highlight that Suzuki’s meticulous attention to detail extends beyond just performance, as seen with the recommended Transom height, which guarantees the optimal operating condition for this motor.
Rounding out at an MSRP of $18,090 and an invoice price of $14,470, the 2023 Suzuki Outboard Motor DF150APL5, is an investment worth considering for those in the market for a durable, reliable outboard motor, that guarantees years of reliable service.
In today's day and age, where quality is often compromised in the pursuit of cost-effectiveness, Suzuki Outboard Motors remains committed to their brand promise. The 2023 Suzuki Outboard Motor DF150APL5 does not only meet the standards set by its predecessors but raises the bar even higher.

DF150APL5
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
