MJ - Can you forward me that guys information.
I have a spare Merc side mount control box and a tach . . . if you go that route.
if you search craigslist . . . try
www.crazedlist.org . . . it's a better way to search.
MJ - You could always go back to the I/O . . . and get busted *** boat with a decent motor and outdrive for $1k. There are litterally hundreds of those deals out here. I can keep my eyes peeled for some bargains . . .
There was a sweet Left hand 2001 Yamaha 250 that sold for $2700 right near me. No one seems to want those big outboards anymore.
