well he finally got back to me last night, he is willing to separate it and pay to have the motor taken back off and un rigged, but the lowest he will go is 7500.
The repower I would go with is would be the Yammi F150. All in for that would be about 13000 with six year warranty.
I just cannot justify going with a two stroke carb motor for a boat I would have long term like this. Fuel wise after research with friends of mine would be a bigger diffrence than I thought. Also the two bangers are not warrantied long term like the fours.
The Suzi 150 would be a bout 1100 less, also has a six year warranty but the last three years with suzi are thru an aftermarket warranty company and it is a prorated rapidly decending type whereas the Yammi is from Yammi and it is full for six years. Big difference.
The ETECS appeal to me but not for the money they want, though some of that premium is gotten back by three years no maintenance but do to the cost of the premium oil required in them the oil costs between the two are a toss up.
So unless I find a motor for much less somehow I cannot get my self into an over 20G V20. Especially in todays market where I am seeing much newer and very nice boats for the same money.
Stay tuned, I am still on a motor hunt. I have seen some used but just don't trust anyone these days.
And new these days they all want them installed by a cert shop to ensure your warranty and register it with them. Even the carbed engine.
That carbed engine would be 8g's up here plus controls, gauges, prop, oil tank and install, so ten grand plus versus 12 grand plus for the F150.
