[steplift20]

Let me understand this 77.000 plus a prop, another 800 plus installing it maybe 3000 plus tax plus controls so your talking about 90 grand when it's done? That can't be right who can afford that?

Take a look at some of the videos of boats going in and out of Haulover Inlet in Florida (Google search for Haulover Inlet videos). Forty and fifty foot boats with four, five, and even six 450Hp motors mounted on them. There is some real money down there - those are the people who will buy them.
