Ok guys. It's time. tiredddddddddddddddddddddd of dumping money into that 115 I have. Looking for a newer, fuel injected only, 125 or 135 merc or yammie WITH some sort of warentee. Preffereably manafactuer's . Need all the help I can get to find one.
start calling marinas even out of state. last year when i was looking for a 200hp outboard no one in the state had a merc 200 in stock let alone at the price i could find them in Indiana, Tenn. Alabama i don't know why but there prices were 1-2k less than what a michigan dealer coud get one for. i ended up at http://www.shermsmarine.com/ b/c the price was right my lender (rec Lending) had done business with sherm before. just start calling around you might find a 135hp or smaller right here in Mi the pontoon boat state.
It's a little late in the season to find many 2013 models still around in that size. I'd suggest calling around to a bunch of dealers to see if they have any last year's model motors they are looking to move. You've got a bunch of them up your way. That way, you can get the warranty, but can save off the price of the 2014's. Van's Sports in GR is a Merc & Yamaha dealer so you can see all of the different model numbers at once on their site (http://www.vanssports.com/new-outboard-motors). I get most of my Merc parts of from there and they are mostly a re-powering and repair shop.
Love this place!

Saw a 2008 in the 6K range
And there was a demo with 1 hour for under 8K
I bought a scratch and dent 225hp from these folks in Mo. www.theboatshopinc.com The cowl of the motor had a one inch smudge other than that the motor is perfect.
They install for warranty purposes. Great people.
