Well I think I can honestly say that outboard companies are hurting to do business. I went down to a local boat show here in Puerto Rico and took a gander at the Evinrude E-Tec 130 and how it would look on my Montauk 190 that I puchased last June. A sales guy walked over and asked if I liked it and I immediately said yesssssssssss.I then explained that I had a new Merc that I was forced to buy when I bought my boat. No problem he said, I can sell it for you....I said really!!!! and my eyes just lit up.
He was pretty sure he could sell it for around $7,000 to $7,500 hundred. The new 130 will cost me $9,247.00 including installation. I agreed.
I think it sounds like a good deal, I get the engine I really wanted plus 15 extra HP all for about $1500 bucks.
What'd you guys think, deal or no deal?
