So, you buy a Mercury, you have a warranty, you cross the start line, warranty over, Global player or not.

FWIW, The XS motors aren't available in Europe, coz they don't have CE.
I heard today that 15K + VAT is the deal from Warsash...they don't ring me anymore so I'm feeling a bit left out.

So that means 15K + VAT plus running a campaign which on a tight budget is 15K per season for the 225 team...hmmm wonder what the entry fee will be for P1 minus the deal for travelling into Europe to support their events.

Not sure how many of the 24 boats out there (minus several now that are going and have gone abroad) and minus oh yes the 2009 champions as they are a Honda dealer so I can see them shelling out for a Merc or will Salcombe Honda come back? Or how about Gunter and the Germans who I believe are sponsored by Honda Europe???

Perhaps P1 are just out to start a new series with Steve as I can't see that many of the 'old soldiers' paying that to be honest in the current climate.

I hear Four Nations are going to stay with Honda for the minute allowing people to re-group as costs are going to be key to bringing people back.

The 150s won't have this problem of course.

Ouch, I'd have thought you could buy a 300Xs in the USA for around 10k at the moment!

That's including installation....

It won't include strengthening the transoms though...
