In other words, once you buy it there is no provision to upgrade to a different new outboard. I've been told that marinas on the lake don't even carry new outboard engines other than those installed on new boats. I have also been told that I would not find a marina on the lake that would sell me a new engine without a new boat. So, here is my question. How do I upgrade to a new 75 to 90 hp engine while trading in my one year old 50 hp Mercury and do so without transacting somewhere other than on Winnipesaukee?
Everything you have been told is NOT true! As a matter of fact I can't think of a marina on the lake that would not sell you a new outboard.

Thurston's, Fay's, Dave's, Irwin's, Sheps, Meredith, Melvin Village, to name just a few would love to have your business I am certain.
