[Stinky_Hooker]

Awesome Slinger!!! Im happy for you! Cant wait to see the performance numbers!

[macojoe]

When I get to work tonight I am asking for a raise!! :'(

Now let me ask you, is that price include the install?? (I am sure it doesn't)
Why SS Prop, I notice a lot of new motor people go SS Is there a reason?

And if you wanted to could you install your self??
I know Yamaha will not give you warrantee if you install yourself.

Mj This price does include install and ss prop I dont know the reasons for ss prop but its ok with me .... as far as install if it were made of wood I could do it ... but its not my expertise so iam more than willing to let them install ;D

[macojoe]

With install I guess thats not bad! I would have installed myself, as long as they let you!!

But you rich guys don't have to lower your selfs to that small task! ;)

lololol Rich ......you funny mj

[macojoe]

Not any more you bought a boat, and now a new motor!! ;)

[reelapeelin]

Slinger might be like me...take on projects outta my comfort zone and it COSTS more than I saved ;D ;D ;D ...



"I'm sorry Mr Hutson...you plugged in the wrong wire and BLEW your motor's computer...no sir, the warranty DOESN'T cover stoopid!"... :o ...

plus I can be off doing what I do making money ;D ;D ;D

[macojoe]

I am DYI guy!!

most of the time I save $$ but then there are others when CB helps me to find my way out the habar and we hit rocks and things, thats were I spend! :(

[phatdaddy]

I think most of the people on this board are a combination of diy and hands on. we are a site devoted to a boat that has been out of production for more than a decade. the older i get, the more i realize that is is usually better to do what i do for a living & pay some one else to do what they do for a living.

Phat those are wise words my father told me long ago the same thing..... and he was right 99% of the time.

[Airslot]

As I get a better grasp on middle age, I am starting to realize the same thing. OF course most of my life I COULDN"T afford to pay to have it done. I mean, if money were no object I'd have a fleet of boats for every purpose ;D

[Skools Out]

if i could afford to pay someone else to do my hobby i wouldn't have a 20 yr old boat it would be a new one

[Airslot]

But it also depends on your line of work. As a contractor, the more work Lumber can perform, the more revenue he can produce.....so get out there and produce that revenue. Most of us probably have a steady income. IF I work 30 or 80 this week, I wind up with the same check.

[randlemanboater]

Airslot, I'd pick 30. ;D

Congrats on the new pusher LS. *

I'm sure you did good on the price but wow, I can't believe how much an outboard motor costs these days.

As for DIY or pay, I have no choice, I don't have the money.

[macojoe]

All you southern police broke??

Ma. Police all have homes cars trucks campers boats, I know a few none of them starving??

Must be the Whiteys crew up here ;D ;)

[C YENSEN]

wow, congrats, cant wait to see the pics

I'm so broke I can't even pay attent...................HUH?

[Stillrunning]

No you wouldn't. The post I read from you sounds like you enjoy and get satisfaction from working on your boat. I'm the same way.

[lumberslinger178]

I'm so broke I can't even pay attent...................HUH?


after this motor ... I dont have the cents to come in out of the rain :o :o :o

[lumberslinger178]

also, the first price that I got was only 350.00 to do the install at that price its a no brainer for me .... and to be honest i really dont know what iam doing when it come to that stuff , these guys do it everyday

[macojoe]

I have repowered a few boats, and for $350 its worth paying them!!

[buckleyjr]

Congrats on the new engine. Question - does the $14,200 include any trade value for your old engine?

[lumberslinger178]

Congrats on the new engine. Question - does the $14,200 *include any trade value for your old engine?


buckleyjr, No no trade I sold it to my older brother for 1500.00 and hes going to put it on a 17 whaler.... personally i think hes crazy... plus hes got to convert it to a short shaft

[lumberslinger178]

so really my out of pocket is 13,100.00

[macojoe]

personally i think hes crazy... plus hes got to convert it to a short shaft


Just tell him to add a fixed jack plate, that will raise it 5 inches giving him a short shaft.

[lumberslinger178]

mj I think hes already bought the parts i believe he said it set him back a couple hundred

[macojoe]

Hope he makes out well!

I thought going to a short shaft was easy, by just putting a short shaft lower unit on??

I know going longer means a spacing kit and other stuff, making it harder??

See you learn something new every day!!

[reelapeelin]

Slinger...ain't it about time to end all this idle chit-chat and stick that puppy in the water ;) ;D ... how long they gonna have it? ...

[Airslot]

You'll be fine, just have to learn to control that right hand....you know, judiciious throttle use. Just cause all that power is there don't mean you got to use it ;D

[lumberslinger178]

true true air... and I got good control of the right hand....lol :o

[macojoe]

Good thing its not going to be mine!! I already throw people out as it is!! Just ask CB!! ;)

[Crusher]

Lumberslinger178, can't wait to hear about your first run. Tom Jarvis and his crew are great people to deal with. He does my repairs. After you pick up the boat head up to Allens seafood in New Gretna and get some deep fried lobester :) . Also if you take your camera see if you can get pictures of the 86 Wellcraft dual console with 225 suzuki for $8000. that Jarvis Marine Brocker has listed. Crusher
