    Have you put one on your rocket yet? Last I talked to you, you were planning to. If so, how’s it running?

    Breaux and Daigle will beat any price in south Louisiana. They sell a large volume and can give you better pricing. If you don't believe just call them and then check around. You'll see.

    I went to Breaux & Daigle to order a Yamaha and he said that it’ll be at least a month before he can get one, I offered to give him money to order it and he said he didn’t want to take my money until he knew for sure when he would get it in. He said they are doing model changes right now and told me to check back sometime next week. I called a few other places and they said they couldn’t get anything until the fall. Gotta be a popular motor!!

    Probably some tweaking going on with Yamaha now that Merc has come out with a 4.6 V8 4 Stroke and are doing away with the ProXS engines. They now entered the SHO price range, obviously the 4 strokers cost more. The 300R is intriguing.......but me personally......hard to keep me from a Hammer

    Be aware the first few years of SHO's had main bearing failures....there was a recall for new powerhead. If it has a newer powerhead, I would not be afraid of it...if not...buyer beware. There was two recalls on SHO's
