I need to clarify my answer to you on the pricing. I went to James because he is a GO-Engine Marine dealer. I was unable to get an answer from Go-Engine Marine and felt that James would know what the price would be. I DO NOT purchase my GO engines from James but From GO-Engine Marine out of Florida. They have been very good at supplying what I have needed and will continue to do so. Emails being what they are and sometimes the slow answers at times make it hard to give answers when needed. Please do not put anything into the association with James other than he is a GO engine dealer like us. Any issues you have should not be associated with Myself or GO-Engines Marine. GO-Engine Marine has started out with a great product and as time goes by you will find that they will give you everythiing they promise as far as performance and quality. If you have any inquiries please email me or call me at 207 627-4407
