[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 470769, member: 7376"] Don't hold your breath in getting them for smaller outboards, basically anything under 90hp. There is very little if any money to be made with small outboards, at least that's the way it looks. Most of the boat shops around this area won't even consider anything under 90hp. A guy shows up looking to buy a 25? Nope...go elsewhere...same story in a lot of places. A dealer can't make any money on smaller motors, period. I know, I work for a dealer. On a new yamaha 25, we make $25. Sales commission is 2% of profit, so you can see where those guys are less than excited to sell a motor unless it's a full rig $30,000+ boat and even then they'd just as soon sell a lawn mower.
