Rob,
I recently ordered a Tohatsu 9.8 from onlineoutboards.com. I ordered it 
Monday morning and it was in front of my garage Tuesday afternoon. Now that's 
service. Just beware, you will have to add oil to the crankcase. Mine took 800 
ml of a good 10/40 motor oil. It's somewhat heavier than my old 8hp tohatsu 2 
stroke.

Rummy

Mike,
They delivered it to my doorstep in one huge box.
I need to check my bill to give you the supplier later this evening.

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.

Rummy: I ordered/received the same motor from the same company.  Nothing but compliments on the service.  I was the one with the question of attaching this motor to the tiller a few weeks ago.  What are you going to do - hope the prop clears the rudder?
