[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 252787, member: 3438"] The main thing you want to check with local dealers to make sure they would perform warranty repairs if so needed. If you had to ship the motor for service, all savings will evaporate. I purchased my Nissan 18E in '97 from a Tampa dealer who now sells online. It was on a business trip, and just had it put on air cargo. While a local dealer said they would perform warrantee work, was never needed. My even older 40C came from a hardware store bankrupcy. Boxed motor, no support, or warrantee, a great bargain, and no issues. I'd buy another small outboard "long distance" motor again. If you need a dealer to do even minor maintenance, than maybe not.
