I guess you're being sarcastic, but it would actually take you 45 min to cover 21 miles @ 28 mph so you're up 15 minutes.

Here's the bottom line...........a new F250 would look REAL nice behind my 23SF, however assuming you paid $3.50/gal on the water for non-ethanol gas you could buy around 6,750 gallons of gas for the Yamaha's retail price of $23,750. My old clunker 2 stroke is paid for and runs perfect.........

I bought the Suzuki 300 last fall, was a one year old in a crate leftover. I paid 15k installed, rigged and with a Stainless Suzuki 20 inch prop, and it came with an extra 3 year warranty which means I have 6 year of factory warranty. I also added an extra $1200 for brand new hydraulic steering, total $ is $16,200. I had 2 1994 225 ocean pros in good running condition and I sold those for $2800 each on Craigs list. Total outlay was $10,600. I thought it was tough to say no to this.

Cool.......sounds like a good deal to me!!! When my old Merc gives up the ghost I'm going to have no choice but to "bite the bullet" and get off my wallet. It's hell being a poor bastard!!!

And a new 350 hp Verado is $34,200, including SmartCraft controls and power-steering. :eek:
