Re: I did it

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

Re: I did it

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! ;)

Re: I did it

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.

Re: I did it

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

Re: I did it

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

Re: I did it

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.

Re: I did it

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.

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.

Re: I did it

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

Re: I did it

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

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