The prices I posted are not "rigged," they are "engines in boxes"

That's just the engine alone. With controls and guages, it was
$21,000. And don't tell me you can find it cheaper because you can't.
The best I could get an F350 for was $21 and that was damn near dealer
cost from a Yamaha dealer.

I know what they list for.

Then you've pretty much proved my point. If there is that much
inflation built into the "list" price, how much is built into the
"retail" price?

Hey! All I posted was that I knew where one could buy an F350 for
$18,000. You're the one who added the "extras."

If I ever see an "eTec driver" out on the water, I'll signal him and ask
what he paid for the engine. :}

I paid $13K for mine, but that was dealer cost. Retail, it was just
shy of $16K, controls and rigging extra (which I didn't pay for). Mine
is an HO so that's a little higher.

Don't quote me on this becasue I'm not at all sure of this, but I
think the standard 200 ETEC with 60 degree block sans controls is
around $10K - $12K w/controls and rigged.
