I'm looking for opinions on the best 40-50hp 4 stroke. I'm looking at either
the yamaha or honda. Any opinions or comments appreciated.

Honda if you can afford it and there is service nearby, otherwise, definatly
Yamaha.

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

The current exchange rate is $US 1.00= $Can 1.35 or $Can 1.00= US 74¢.
That's not exact, but pretty close.
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.

Thanks John. Sounds like my dealer knocked off a couple hundered from
the MSRP. 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.
Thanks,
Rick

Back from the boatshow and I'm told U.S. MSRP is $3190. 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).

Any particular reason to avoid Mercury or Suzuki (or the rebadged
Bombardier/Suzuki)? They offer EFI where the Honda and Yamaha do not.

%mod%

Huh,
I didn't know that they don't offer EFI.
