Well last week I finally decided it was time to re-power the old boat.
There's nothing wrong with the 1991 Merc 90hp 2 stroke on the boat other than the fact it's temperamental in the cold and it guzzles gas.
I tried to buy a new motor here in town but their prices are too high and they won't deal at all. I ended up searching the net for Canadian Merc dealers that would actually deal.
I ended up talking with Bridgeview Marine in Delta BC (one of their 3 locations) and got pricing on a new 2013 Merc 115hp 4 stroke, new controls and Mercmonitor eco gauge setup. Including shipping and taxes it's about $3K less than if I purchased here in town.
So I will be saying goodbye to the trusty old 2 smoke.
And will be saying hello to my new fuel injected 115 four stroke gas mizer!!!
New controls
And new high tech gauge/monitor system
The waiting is going to kill me!!!!!
Hopefully it arrives before the ice goes out.
