Bass1958, so your tellin me that Yamaha is making consumers pay for the Extended warrantys right now? I used to sell Yamaha, and that was always part of the Promotional time of Boat Show time, ending March 31st or April 15th. Mercury and Evinrudes promos are 100% free to the consumer, the dealer has to pay a small fee, but its free to you, id check on that one. And I would NEVER pay that much for a extended warranty, especially with a good Dealer that can write a Correct Insurance Estimate. Brannon
