Sure they are. So to get the most bang for your buck, you sometimes

have
to
take advantage of a company's "dumping" practices and buy their

outboard...like you did with the Suzuki's. They're terrific engines

and
would be priced closer to Merc and Yamaha if Suzuki wasn't trying to

gain
market share via dumping.


Explain to me again how (1) outboards are overpriced and (2) Suzuki is
"dumping" them for what they ought to sell for anyway.....


My brother bought a Suzuki 140 for 3 grand less than a comparable Yamaha.
Is it possible that the Suzuki was $1500 below reasonable market

value...and
the Yamaha was $1500 too expensive?

And *I'm* the "binary thinker"?



What does a Suzuki sell for in Japan? If it sells for about the same price
there as here, is not dumping. Dumping is selling in the US for less than
your local foreign price to gain market share.
