We could definately start a LONG thread on the high prices of outboards.
I guess the manufacturers figure all boaters are rich. My city seems to think so, as they try to add fees onto everything related to boating.
On another note though check out the new MERC being released this year. All electronic controls, even shift and throttle eliminating those heavy control cables. The steering is also integrated electronic -no more hydraulic lines running through the boat, just some thin wires. They have completely redesigned the engine with help from some car manufacturers. Porsche or lotus (I thnk) Digital control RPM and a crap load more. I believe it is a 4 str.
The motor is unbeliveable, but probabaly costs over 20 big ones for 200 HP...OUCH !!!!
