Location: Elk River, Minnesota		Hiya,

without seeing the boat, I'm wagering a guess here that the console comes out with just a few bolts.

I did a little more searching and one thing you might want to consider is the weight of the motor as well. Although you could get away with a 30hp of today's motors, you might find the rear end will "squat" a bit as the etec 30hp is about 150 pounds as compared to the 80's 35hp which was roughly 120 pounds.

If anything that might be the argument the dealers could be considering.

food for thought more than anything...

Steve
