As this is my hobby instead of Golf, sporting events, and such, I pay far less for my outboards than some pay for those activities. Therefore, I sometimes spend extra to get what I want. It’s still far less than many people spend on ball games. I got a locked up RD recently that will provide many hours of entertainment and I can chose how far I take it and when I will part it out or whatever. I will probably have parts to help get another one running 😉
