I guess call into as many dealers nearby you and ask them, unless someone has just got one and knows the price.
we got a couple of them for work a while ago.
i think around 14k fitted would be reasonable to expect.

Just repowered the longboat a few months ago, quote off Suzuki here, 115hp fitted ($17,400) plus hyd steer ($1300) = $18,700!!!!! What the!!!!!
Went with a Opti 115, price was $14,500 fitted with hyd steer, 20kg lighter
and smart craft guages (nice bit of kit). Nearly 50hrs already and couldn't be happier. AND the $4200 saving from the Suzuki shouts me a new H/bird 997 side image sounder/gps for Chrissy!!
BOTTOM LINE IS IT PAYS TO SHOP AROUND

you can't compare a 115 Opti to a 115 Zuke, you would have to compare a 115 Yammy for a direct price comparision
How come?Originally Posted by julian1

Well one is a 3 cylinder orbital direct injection 2 stroke and the other is a 4 cylinder 4 stroke.
surely i don't have to explain the differences
My DF100 was about $13K if that is any help
maybe so, but they are all in the 115hp class regardless of the block and configuration, you are still paying for an engine putting out 115hp.Well one is a 3 cylinder orbital direct injection 2 stroke and the other is a 4 cylinder 4 stroke.
surely i don't have to explain the differences
If you were comparing the performance stats ie torque, fuel consumption, power to weight, true hp, etc, that when they all start getting split up.
trouble is though, I think the block gets bigger (from 3cyl to 4 cyl) in the 115, so there will be a pretty juicy price diff, same story for the 140 and 150hp zuke.
Overall, don't really set your heart on a zuke if you aren't a brand loyalist, every manufactuer puts out great engines, and for me, it would come down to mainly price, then servicing, each will have marginal differences in fuel economy, but all brands are reliable (every brand has its horror stories).
That is, once you have decided between a 2, DI 2 or 4 stroke, me personally, i would go a 4 stroke, probably a yamaha.
As for pricing, depends where you are, north of sort of Gladstone, most brands have us over a barrel in terms of pricing, because in each regional centre you would be very lucky to have more than one dealer for each brand, so even the competition between dealers isn't there unless you are willing to travel some fair distances to try and get a better deal, thats about the only time i envy Brisbane.
Do the footwork, and if you don't mind travelling to get yourself a better deal, get on the phone as well, I would mind betting you would get someone to come down to maybe 15k for the zuke even less if you play the dealers against one another. Don't forget the marine industry has slowed down a bit, so dealers with plenty of competition would be chomping at the bit for a bit of business, even if it means sacrificing some net profit. Just remember, lay down a minimal deposit (500 max would be my suggestion) and don't pay another cent until its fitted and setup up right for your boat.
Just curious, was the 100 much cheaper than the 115?. The suzuki website has both motors as identical in all stats apart from maximum HP.
sure does same motor fitted 115 opti sg 12.8,3weeks ago.very happy so far.Just repowered the longboat a few months ago, quote off Suzuki here, 115hp fitted ($17,400) plus hyd steer ($1300) = $18,700!!!!! What the!!!!!

Bottom line is they dont want you to know what they cost...nor do they want you to be able to compare pricing in a free marketplace.
The added bonus of course is that you are not only expected to do the research but then use YOUR time to seek THEM out.
Its just the way things are done in this country....bend over and pay a stupid price whilst they do the least work for it...then no matter which way the aussie dollar goes there is an excuse why prices remain high and there's a 6 week wait for parts...and when the dollar goes back down they try to tell you there will be a price rise so better get in quick.
Basically u need to do the legwork coz the industry is not set up to be friendly to you..just to get the money from your wallet for the least effort on their part.
have a look at brisbane yamaha site.he lists all the prices.burpengary on bruce highway.
prices should really start to drop now as they use up all the stock that was bought at high aus dollar rate.i spoke someone there the other day and i think it was 1500 or so diff between 100 and 115.
the prices on his site are for fitted and include all gauges and stainless prop.
best of luck but go fourstroke yami and you wont need it.

Great site...ok its not the donk he was after but THAT is the sort of thing that helps us out HUGELY and they ought to be sponsored with extra sales.
This garbage of having an unwritten rule of being coy about pricing is just being deliberately anti-competitive and we ought to bark up about it...sick of it. All because we've been very very nice to them over the yrs and bent over and took it and made it easy for them. They expect it.
We're boaties...we're supposed to be ripped off.
As long as his installation and service history is first rate no reason why u wouldnt even take a few days off and tow the boat up from Sydney to him.
We shouldnt need to ask for it and we shouldnt have to do all the damn work.
