Did you read with an understanding? I said it might be alittle hire now. That means it might be more than that $500 in 2005.
What would it cost to install one then since you know?
If I have the right controls and steering already in place on the boat why would it cost more than $500 to install it?
Or do you not install motors people bought from another dealer?
If I found a motor cheaper at one dealer and they told me it'll cost me a $1000 to install it, I couldn't buy that motor at that dealer because I'm not going to pay $1000 for them to install it when someone else can do it for cheaper?
