Also the "International" model was cheaper than a Yamaha purchased in the USA.


Good to know about the International motor. Just called my dealer to inquire, as this boat will be new and not registered in any state prior to being shipped to Belize under the QRP. The price of the boat includes the motor, so he is finding out if his Yamaha rep can get one for international delivery.
