[Rhodes22-list] Yamaha 8 hp motor source?

[Mike Cheung]

Caesar,

I have a question about how you handled your motor purchase.  Did you have
it delivered to GBI directly?  If so, who did you order it from?

I'm looking hard at the Yamaha T8, but the darn things are both expensive,
somewhat scarce, and the dealers apparently aren't supposed to ship them. 
This makes getting one to Stan difficult.  

I may yet end up with a Tohatsu.
