Hey all,

2 weeks ago I was running my Ranger with a 1993 Yamaha pro v 150 at about
3/4 throttle when what turns out I threw a rod. Now my motor they said
needs to be completely rebuilt. The rebuild with comes to about $6k, but
they also have a brand new 2004 Yamaha 150 horse for $8700. To me it is a
no brainer and I buy the brand new motor, but I was wondering if there is
something maybe I am taking for granted????

Thanks for your input

Chris



It certainly shows that a complete professional rebuild of a modern
outboard is a waste of money...

was one of 10 to vote against Head Start, one of four to vote against
banning plastic weapons that can pass through metal detectors. He voted
against the Department of Education. He voted against funding for
Meals on Wheels for seniors. He voted against a holiday for Martin
Luther King. He voted against a resolution calling for the release of
Nelson Mandela in South Africa. It's amazing to hear him criticize
either my record or John Kerry's."
