Nice find Ferm! That looks like it could be a sweet deal, depending on what he would charge for shipping.

@ Willy aot of members have responded with help must feel over whelming to have such a great group of mates . hope you find a good deal on a engine and yes these things always happen at the worse time and we all wish that money wasnt a problem . good luck digger

And your recollection is good!!...we just didn't have that opportunity before us this time...possibly soon!!...:beer:

Thanks Aussie, you are right on the money with that statement.
And Oz I hope so.
Still debating and shopping locally, nothing yet.

Dang Willy.....I really hate to hear of your busted motor.

I have to say, having a brand new mill on the transom really is a nice way to go.....no worries at all.

Of course that was a while back for me.....2003....but the feeling lasted for a long time and I felt it was money well spent.

Most of your new motors have 6 year warranties these days.

But I understand the trepidation.....motors are about twice the price now then they were in 03.

hey Willy, this will give you an idea of what a new one is costing

Yea Dave those are pretty much what I am seeing up here. 17-19 G's by time you are installed and out the door, with NJ sales tax.
Wow prices have gone up unbelievable.
Looks like it is the used motors for me. Unless Ozzie can float me a loan!
