Well thanks to a good dealer, and some good friends it looks like I will be up and running before I get back from Italy.
After days of searching and coming up with squatzola and deciding I cannot afford new due to the Eighteen thousand dollar price quotes from the Yamaha Evinrude Suzuki dealers up anywhere close to me, friends turned me on to a dealer in southJersey, with a great rep and a great name, Barnacle Bills. Well without going into details I signed a contract and am getting a 2011 new Etec HO 200 for a LOT less. Anyhow, I could not get it there so after being reminded by that Old Sage Ozzie that Capt. Pete does boat transport on the side I have contracted with Pete to p/u FishBones and deliver it. It's a beautiful thing, when a plan comes together. Saying a prayer all goes good. Thanks Pete.

Dave you will absolutely shocked at what I am getting this engine installed for. It still is a stretch but Evinrude has a 6% promo going so I am doing half up front. Five year warranty. 800 for my old engine, plus they are using my original controls which is saving me a grand right there.
All in $12,900. I was looking at used engines installed up here for $7900. with 440 hrs etc. I will have the balance paid off by year end. For the peace of mind, the performance, the warranty, it is much better going this way. For the past few years since I retired from the P.D I have been working 10-12 hour days, usually at least one weekend day in the office, a lot of responsibility and three employees. So I am going to push my envelope a little and do something good for myself. This will be the first new motor for the salt water boats that I have ever had after almost forty years of fishing the salt. Your d@mn right I am going for it. And I agree the horse shoe is close by but I have worked and hunted for it for a long time.
