Re: Verado 175 on new Tahoe
I'll be interested to hear what you think of the windshield once you have it in the water. When I made the move from a v-hull bowrider to a tritoon, I thought I'd really miss not having a windshield, but in reality I don't miss it. In fact, I don't even think about it.

Re: Verado 175 on new Tahoe
We thought long about weather or not to choose this layout. We boat into the fall so a bit of wind protection will be nice on those cooler days. If you look at the cockpit picture you can see that it's a pretty low windshield. We'll still get plenty of air on those hot muggy days. I got to drive a Bennington with a windshield this fall. Actually the last boat I drove this season. Anyway it was a cool damp day and it sure felt good compared to the non windshield boats we drove that day. Anything over 30 mph and the wind starts to get annoying to me lol

The Bennington I drove was pretty sweet compared to our new boat. It was 10' beam with twin 300's !!!

Re: Verado 175 on new Tahoe
I love my Verado 150...wish I had a Verado 250!
I have had mine for 6 years and never had a problem. Runs like new!
I have it dealer serviced every season because I am mechanically impaired! I can fill the gas tank up, but that about it...
