BNelsen, Thanks for the info. We will not be ready
till next spring. I understand thet are a 600 lb
monster but we saw one on a boat at Tillamook Bay and let me tell you it is an impressive display of power yet wisper quiet. We want a NorthRiver Seahawk and the boat mfg said it is a perfect fit.
If we drop the lower unit and use a pump with the transom adjuster it is still more power than we will actually use. With the prop we would probably use about half throttle for our needs. That equals a very long engine life too me. I will not buy without giving you a shot at the business. You don't have to beat anyones price, just be close. My business will stay with those on
this board as long as I'm not being taken advantage of. Thanks Again!
