Yes Sir Strick!! That's the same "Jethro" math I use. Like I tell dealers at the boat shows with the "greatest deals available" on new engines, I can buy alot of gas for that kind of money, however If I stick a rod out the side of the block, or it starts giving me trouble, we'll talk.
The $8k is for a 90hp, when you go up to the 250hp for my 'ol SeaCraft the price of poker goes crazy. Seems the 250hp Yamaha is around $2k - $3k higher than an e-Tec so that makes my decision easier. If I used it alot, like two trips a week on a regular basis, I could justify the expense before something goes wrong with what I have. Until then I'll just burn more gas.
Being poor sucks.
