 Re: 115 Vmax xs or 115 etec It's a boat I currently already own. It's an 15x5 3/16 semi-v made by Eric Romero in Lydia. I have a 90 on it currently.

Re: 115 Vmax xs or 115 etec There's no doubt that the yammies are great. My issue is getting over the fact that I always owned evinrude and Johnson and dealing with the same small time dealer.

Re: 115 Vmax xs or 115 etec Considering the 115 Yamaha SHO MSRP is $11,755, should be able to get it as low as $8500-$9000, which does not include rigging but the parts aren't that much and you could do it yourself.

Re: 115 Vmax xs or 115 etec Well I think I'm going Yamaha based on price. The dealer that I thought would be the most expensive and the one I didn't want to deal with had the best price by several hundred. Only cause he had a floor model he'll let me have.

Re: 115 Vmax xs or 115 etec Already got this guy. The dealer is holding it for me. I'm giving my boat a face lift. It will have some construction work done to the inside, be completely stripped, painted and 're rigged.Screenshot_2015-08-14-17-08-21.png
