The dealer relationship and warranty are key I feel. I talked to the local Yamaha dealer about a 150 back in 2010 and bought an ETEC from someone else due not just to cost but the attitude the yamaha dealer had. Dont buy from someone who has crappy reviews for their service dept or is more concerned about selling entry level boat motor trailer packages vs someone who does clean rigging and repower work.
