    Depending on the HP and exact model, that's about right.

    What a shame. I was so going to get one, but decided to upgrade my platinum warrenty to 2024 and wait for production to catch up.

    I had Don just do a total overhaul on my 11 Pro XS. By the time I am in the market for the 4 stroke, they should be caught up LOL. Maybe even a slow down in the economy and they will be really cheap....

    Put my name on the list late September and they had it mid December. It was from a "Central Marine" located in Macon, Ga.

    There's a dealer in Corsicana, TX that told me he had some. Might be worth the call. Should be on the Mercury Marine dealer locator.

    What if you order a boat with one of these engines ? Do the boat manufacturers have priority on these engines ? I would assume this is the case but just curious because I will be ordering a new boat in a couple of months.

    They do. But even then they are having a hard time keeping up. I know several orders that were delayed by a week or 2 waiting on engines.
