Merc 4S 25" 115 hp Command Thrust is $8,650 from Ed's Superstore, plus freight, controls, prop. Add this in and you're at about $9,800.
Make sure you have a genuine Mercury service center do the install & rigging, or the warranty is hard to get honored. I suggest making a deal with your local dealer before buying from Ed's. You might get the motor installed for less than $10K AND build a good relationship with your local dealer.
Ed's will do the install and rigging as well if you haul your boat to them. However, they charged a friend of mine an additional $250 over their quote to de-rig and remove his old motor, so if you go that route, bring the boat ready for the install.
