    Bad Weekend, help needed

    Hey Guys,
    blew my motor (98 175 EFI) on Saturday, it was rebuilt a couple years ago and I bought the boat last year. I was quoted 5,000 for a new powerhead, labor included. I'm thinking just buying a new pro xs may be the best option. I have been searching online and found one for $6,900 then realized the site was based out of Indonesia.....what can I expect to pay for new and where would be the best place to look

    Yeah, those Indonesian motors cost a lot less but then again they never arrive so maybe not the best idea?
