The last two "leftover" 09 525 boats sold in Texas were asking about that so I could believe that is what they want for a 2012...
The Top Gun Open was 299K at the Lauderdale Show with 3 outboards (which are cheaper than a pair of big block sterndrive packages).

I like seeing this type of stock reliable power in a great boat. I do like the old 500 hp. Maybe that will come back. When i look at boats i like the stock power or motors never touched. Big power turns me away as you dont know how they were taken care of and some of these no name engine shops scare me.

Where was this when I was re building the engine in my sea ray. I spent almost this much on a rebuild.

These prices are Oem package prices, yes if you bought them separate you would pay 30k for the motor only. Oem is what the manufacturers pay mercury direct

I can only assume you are calling manufacturer pricing "OEM pricing" and you are claiming is that a boat manufacturer(like Cigarette) only pays $4,000 more for a 525/XR package than they do a 502HO/X package???

I'd almost be willing to bet that no 2 manufacturers, retailers, rigging shops, mechanics etc ever pay exaclty the same amount for anything from Merc. Depends on what you need nd when you need it, and how valuable you are to them....

C. I would suspect Brunswick builders get Mercury products cheaper because they are all under the same family umbrella.
