What a value. :-)



Don't use it in salt water so where's the corrosion issue? Can you
point to a white paper on this?

Value? $750 compared to $1500 for alittle more noise is an excellent
value
for the fisherman who likes to save alittle and still
have a 5 hp 4-stroke...B&S doesn't seem to have problems selling'em
and selling them
to experienced fisherman who can easily afford to pay double for some
other
makes..maybe the extra $800 goes into the 480x480 fishfinder/gps?
