Ian Binstead at Galleon Marine offered me a new 4 stroke Yamaha 115hp for $10908 Canadian which at the time figured out to be about $6775 US. This price included all the guages etc. which are apparently optional in the US.

Sherwood Marine offered me a new Honda 4 stroke 130hp for $7900 US.

The Merc warranty may be a different deal but these guys warned me that some US dealers (like the guy in Bellingham who loses the most business) wont take Yamaha Canada warranty problems. Probably the further south you are the less likely the dealer is to have an attitude about this.
