Another option would be a used / newer .....
After a very careful search to find trustworthy source I bought from ARG Marine in Florida.
Check their on line inventory.
I was very skeptical, and very careful to get all in writing and found them to be completely professional and trustworthy. Contact there is Victor - knows a lot about outboards. List prices are starting point.....make offer same as for car.
Anyway, there are some good deals to get all original outboards with low hours that check out completely fine for much less than new.
I've bought 2 used and both have worked out fine as new. Best of success which ever way you go.
