I would personally just get new and finance if money is your concern. Some dealers also will let you finance it with installation costs rigging etc. The warranty is usually worth it.

Put a good chunk money down and pay off rest later date.

Personallly your going to find lots of surprises as you go through podding. The rigging and wiring etc also adds up.

Leases returns are hit and miss.

I know when I got mine I made sure I got motor arranged way ahead time.

Yeah having warranty is huge. Still have lots of time to look for a deal too.

Ya but big price to pay for a warranty, and time is factor, the dealer told me with a deposit, 3-6 months wait, not to many available, I was told every 3-4 months for preorder, that’s one dealer did not dig deeper into other dealers. The jackel repowered his north west tin, last year and it was 4-5 months if I remember right before it was ready to go for a swim

I put a deposit on a 300 from bridgeview the other day, the guy I was talking to was saying some new engines are pre selling into the next year. 40+ k and tax for new plus rigging is hard to swallow. And I try not to finance anymore. I’d prob have 500 hours by the time the warranty’s up haha.

Oh and they said it’s a refundable deposit when the sell the motor if you change your mind when the time comes

Yup, 40 k with rigging and install for suke 300 I was quoted, I puked in my mouth when he told me the number, so hard to justify with the way our season is getting smaller and smaller, not to big on cruising, I own a boat to fish

I bought my boat in 2011 with a camp return already on it. It gets us a dozen springs, some halis, prawns and other stuff every year. Hard to justify brand new or a bigger boat for that matter.

Good food for thought, thanks gents, the plan is 300, any objections? Generally a pretty full boat so I think it’s the right call.@Stizzla

Thanks for the input wolf, I thought it would be solid enough and trust DSS.

In terms of the cover for the big whole I’m gonna have in my deck, anyone have any good photos of a design I can send to DSS? Yes, yes I’m asking for deck pics.

Yep. Not needed. The way he does it he put a big backing plate anyway.

I am happy with work he did on mine.

This was my interior before and after. So gross that inboard when we yanked it.

Larry made an aluminum piece in back and the hatch cover. There is welded shelf in center door for storage.

Here are some pics. You can see backing plate in photos.
