So, I've been doing research on 90 hp outboards for my repower and I'm starting to see a trend that has me concerned. It appears that you cannot just buy a motor above 25 hp and ship it to a dealer to have it installed. Living here in Arizona we are limited on dealers and they want an arm and a leg to order the motor and install it, I'm talking o n average on the internet a dealer (not in Arizona) wants 7600.00 for the motor. When its all said and done thru the local dealer down here the final bill is over 12,000.00! Anyone on here have any experience re-powering? My decision on taking on this project is starting to look like a bad one.
