Here is my advise. Shop the internet and get the best price delivered
on
the two engines and boat. Take the information to the dealers and
talk the
same engines model number, year, hp, warranty. Your dealer should then
be
able to offer you a better deal on a boat engine combo. Here is a
good link
to start on engine price.

You may have to email some to get their price or call the 1-800 toll
free
number. Remember to include delivery charge.

Jack: 1st, thanks for the reply. Eastern boats are sold direct from
the factory. There kind of a custom boat company. You pick out a hull,
then you say CC or Cuddy Cabin, then you start adding on the options.
Eastern will almost put anything on your boat using after market items
or even fiberglass sections to your liking. Very, very solid boat &
claims praise up here in New England by many boaters.

So, I can't "shop" the boat. They simply don't have dealerships. I can
only look for the best price on the outboard engine. I think the 25"
Shaft (DF140TXLK3) 140 Suzuki is a steal @ $9,000 installed with fuel,
multi-tach gauges from my local dealer. It would cost $100.00 for the
SS Prop & $70.00 extra for the hour meter gauge.

Thanks Again.
