Best 4 stroke 40-50hp engine
Thought I'd post a follow up in case anybody's interested. I feel a
bit flim flammed at the moment ... so what else is new. When I went back to buy the motor, it turns out the $2566 price is for a 2003 model. Yes it's brand new, yes it's still in the crate with a three year warranty, but it wasn't for an '04 like I'd asked for. An '04 would cost me another $190 plus $58 for shipping .............. and yes I went ahead and committed to the '03. It's supposedly the exact same motor as an '04 with no changes whatsoever. If anyone knows differently, please let me know ASAP, I'd like to know before I pay for it and pick it up tomorrow afternoon.

Didn't see it in writing though ... but watched the guy look it up in his secret book ;-) shrug Don't know why he would BS me but, who knows. Anyhow, if that's right, Canada MSRP is about $245 US dollars less than the US MSRP assuming the 1.00=1.35 exchange rate. oh! and I got a better quote at the show ... $2566 (20" shaft, 20hp no frills model Honda).

With all the calculating he was doing, I was worried he might be *adding* to it ;-) Anyhow, I'll be getting a second quote at a boat show this weekend. If I find out the U.S. MSRP for sure, I'll post it here for comparison.

So, Canadian MSRP of $3979 equals $2945 US. I don't know if the MSRP is the same, adjusted for exchange rate, in both countries. A factor might be any import duties paid by the US or Canadian importer. PhantMan wrote: Thanks habbi, Do you happen to know the exchange rate offhand (U.S/Canada)? I'm considering a 20hp (BF20, manual start, 20" shaft) which is shown at $3979 MSRP (canadian) and wondering how much that is in U.S. dollars. A dealer here quoted me $2700 U.S. (his price, not MSRP) and I'm wondering how much he knocked off the MSRP. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure the MSRP for the two countries exchange to equal values. Do you know? TIA, Rick |
