From the BS I've seen on some other Websites I hear it retails for $19200 and a dealer in Tennessee is supposedly selling them for about $16500.

Now bere in mind that is internet rumor and I have not seen anything first hand.

Its a nice motor, but I think your boat would sink if you hung that on the back. It weighs over 500 lbs. http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/Eyecrazy.gif

Still, I think it weigh's less than the verado.
