New outboard time

[Mac Bentley]

I'm ready to buy a new outboard for my h23, a 5 hp. Does anyone see anything wrong with buying off the Internet from a place like boats.net or onlineoutboards.com? I would prefer to buy locally, but there's a big difference in prices.

I saw some great prices at Gander Mountain on mercurys last week. Shipping cost alone would eat any savings buying online, eh?

Both say free shipping to the lower 48.

We sold our gas 9.9 hp (too big) and went electric since we are on an inland lake.

These guys are quick. I pulled the trigger on a Tohatsu this afternoon from a Tennessee outfit and Fed Ex picked it up before the day was over. Expected to be delivered here in Oklahoma on Tuesday.
