Default Re: Mercury 300 on a 23

I checked for the hay of it last fall and you can pry a 350 vrod from a dealer for a cool 29K, did not ask if the price included the controls.
I believe the 350SCi is "fly by wire" only; i.e., Smartcraft controls and gauges only, which adds at least another $2600 to the cost. The da**ed Smartcraft control, either binnacle or side-mount is $900, (and the Zero Effort single engine digital control is $1400). Then you add $700 for the Speedo, $600 for the sensor reading display, and about about another $400 - $700 for the harnesses.

My 90 Opti is a Smartcraft model, but I opted to go with analog controls to save the huge extra costs.
