I just ordered the last brand new in the box 2004 ,150hp Yamaha from Ed's marine . $6999+ freight . As much as I would have liked an E-TEC it was the cost in the end that made the call . I can use all of the controls , oil tank, guages ,prop, ect . from my 1994 . I think I have my old motor sold for $2100 . The guy is to bring a check on Sat and after a test run on my boat we are going to pull the engine . I should have the new one in about two weeks . While the motor is off I'm going to have some minor glass and gelcoat work done .
 
I went with the two stroke . At the price that I paid , I don't think that I would make up the savings in fuel cost for years . I know the 4 strokes are very good , but the 2 stroke has been good to me. I don't have to do anything but bolt the new on .
 
Hey, with the advances they have made in 2-strokes, my 200 burns less than my old 150 'Rude did. And hauls a___, too! 8) Sounds like you did well. Keep us posted!
 
That's the same motor I bought new in July. Haven't had a second worth of trouble. 42mph top end on the V-21. Surprisingly quiet IMO. Sounds like a good deal. I paid close to $500 more than that.

Are they charging you for the install? The dealer charged me $150. The first dealer I asked said around $400, so I though $150 sounded pretty good.
 
The dealer here said that he would hang it and sign off on it for $200 . I could have bought an 05 for $500 more . Ed's says it is the same motor and I figure that I can use that to cover the cost of mounting it .
 
Hey snowflake! HE DID BUY A YAMAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Labil, good luck I think you picked one of the best motors ever made, should last a decade no problem and that boat will fly ;)
 
Thanks Willy , I thought about buying the 200 hp but it was about $2k more . If it had been 5 years ago when I was a single man it would have been a different story .
