YA I TALKED TO THE BOAT.NET PEOPLE. THEY SAID THEY RAN OUT OF ENGINES DUE TO OMC GOING UNDER AND ARE HAVING A HARD TIME KEEPING UP WITH PRODUCTION AND ORDERS. THEY ASSURED ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE ENGINES JUST THEIR ABILITY TO KEEP UP.
I DID GET A QUOTE ON A NEW 2001 EFI SALT WATER II 30” SHAFT FOR $8995, WITH A 4 YEAR WARRANTEE. I WILL PROBABLY GO WITH IT THIS WEEK.

Ken,
They are discontinuing because the are starting to get ready for next year Model. So they have to stop production on 2002 at some point. The motor is great, no problems, the demand was just high on this motor. The only change with the left hand would be the props.
The top portion on the engine is exactly the same as the right hand motor. The lower unit is counter rotating. The boat does not know what the direction the prop is turning so it runs the same.
