Bruce, how much are Yanmar diesel outboards, 27 and 36hp, in Thailand?

They had the prices jacked up so high in the USA they couldn't sell them.



Don't know, but I'll ask around.

I'll probably have to get a catalog price as I don't think I've ever
seen one in Thailand. I doubt anyone would want one as the "runabout"
crews all want gasoline and the fishermen all use long tails as they
are so much cheaper.

My guess is that they are EXPENSIVE! The import and sales tax on stuff
brought into the country is pretty high.

But I'll ask and post what I hear.


Cheers,
