I just replaced my trim motor on a 1988 150 mercury
I was told there are two pumps. One cheap and one expensive. Guess what one I have. The expensive one. How much would you say I should pay for every thing. Labor and part installed. It's the trim motor and labor to install it Let's see who gets the closest. I think I'm getting ripped off. I will post the amount Monday or Tuesday cause I'm going to pick up my baby( boat ) Monday.

not bad on the labor, it could have been a lot worse. I looked up the part and Mercury doesn't sell the trim motor by itself, it list a trim kit for $1171.00
for the design 1 and $644 for the design 2. Arco(good aftermarket) retails for $612. There's decent mark up on that pump. The dealer didn't screw you, Mercury did by having that trim motor so high, everyone else bases their parts off of OEM

Spare parts the motor was exactly what you said. Still a lot of money. Labor w as good. I always bring my mercury to the same marina and never had a issue with the price for labor it's the parts that are killing me.
