If you found the 40 HP for $4,100 each online, then you should jump on 'em.
I just looked up the C-Dory Factory's "2003 C'Dory's 22' Price List" and read the following.......
Twin Honda 40 Four Stroke Package.........$11,500.
Trailer (Galvanized EZ-Loader Roller 3700 lb capacity....$3,280.

Just a small engine note.
1) That's a great engine price. You may want to buy them just to resell them. The profit alone will pay for your electronics.
2) You are quoting engine prices alone. Now you have a C-Dory in your driveway and a couple of large crates with engines. Installation includes gauges, trim indicator and sender, fuel filter, throttles, cables, and rigging labor.
3) Reread SNEAKS comments about the Harley. It is perfect. Also, be happy you are out on the West coast. East coast instantly adds $2,000 for shipping, and there are NO used 19's. Supply and demand determines price. Everybody wants one and the factory can only make so many. Almost nobody gets rid of theirs unless they are trading up (reminds me of my last girlfriend). Sounds to me like you want a new one, which will be exactly what you want. Congratulations in advance for your wise choice.
Good Luck,
John |

I'll eccept that the boat it'self might hold near retail value but nothing else should. Just my opinion. Oh by the way 2 40hp honda's don't cost $12,000. I found them for $4,100 each online.
boat $30,000
engines $8,200

Total. 41200.00 plus I still have almost 4k to outfit the way I want. And full warranty. So I guess value is in the eye of the beholder. Some upgrades are only upgrades to those who wanted them in the first place. |
Not really offended... just trying to give you good, sensible advice. I wish you good luck in obtaining your CD. Let us know how it works out.

THanks for all the advice. Seems like everyone is happy with their C-dory's. Don't know if anyone wants the link to where I found the motors. but here it is.

It could wind up being a hassle I suppose but it appears that there are deals to be had if your willing to do a little footwork. Cheers. |

Don't forget to add in the rigging and instrumentation on those engines.....you're right Flapbreaker in that the value is in the eye of the beholder. a person has a right to ask whatever price they wish, the true value of the craft is what it sells for. These boats are near new and rigged up nicely and offer the ever popular "instant gratification" option, it will be interesting to see how these three similar boats sell.

Out of curiosity, I called these folks up. The phone was answered by the advertiser, Seneca Marine. When I inquired about the advertised 40HP engine at the obviously "too good to be true" price, I got a terse response directing me to another phone number and "the woman who is handling those."
Calling that number, I got an answering service for a construction company. That was enough for me...
If you want to risk your hard-earned money on a possibly shady deal, have at it. Me - I'll buy from an authorized Honda dealer, who can provide service after the fact, and make sure the full factory warranty is in effect. There have been numerous reports of shady Honda deals, either rental units with thousands of hours, or Canadian motors (which carry NO warranty in the US.)
Add to that, I've been told authorized Honda dealers are not allowed to ship outboards, and when advertising, must adhere to minimum advertised prices - all the more reasons to be suspect of these motors. I'm sure there's an authorized Honda dealer reading this thread who can comment.
