Seems a little high but motors seem to be cheaper down here due to supply. Give Brian @ international marine service a call for a quote just for comparison. I know they have a shop up your way but not sure how close. Well worth getting a quote from them as they will beat any quote you get regardless. At least you would have a little leverage to bargain with if you know the bottom line.
Also, the DF 250AP is a completely different motor than the 250TX. The AP is a de-tuned 300 with forged crank, rods and pistons, lean burn and a much more robust lower unit with low water pickup. There is literally no difference in power accept at the top end to the 300.
The TX is the motor I had before I repowered. Great motor that has been around for a decade but will not give you the same performance or fuel economy of the AP.
As far as the commercial discount... Hmmm, 15% is huge discount but that is where I think the real price is for the motors and if you shop, should get that price including the warranty.
