Ok, I will look for that contact in Fl. It was through the Boat U.S. I
remember them being flexible with their price also, they mentioned a higher
price and they listen to me complain for a bit then reduced the price and
had that supplier call me from Fla. I think it was just some small auto
supplier or something like that. I read here before that some were having
luck with the Auto places like UAP or places like that but I never had luck,
always a marine part and Champion only made them for the marine industry
available through marinas only (wow, scary thought). I did make a point of
it to call back the marinas who quoted me the 20. per plug, and told them I
found them for 3ish per plug, just to rub it in and feedback is good.

Thanks for the reply. For my first set of plugs
I got them from BOAT US but they were about $9.00 each. (still better
than dealer who had them for ~17.00 per). I hunted around and found
www.sparkplugs.com who had them for ~4.50. Last check had them
for 5.04. I didn't think there was a NGK equivalent or for that matter
*any* equivalent. If you find the contact for that place in FLA
let me know.

So far I have only had *one* plug that I couldn't index somewhere on the
engine.


Thanks,

-Almus
