  9. boats.net are cheaper on there prices, bikebandet, and others list prices are always higher than boats.net. I know a boat dealer, yes a yamaha boat dealer that has a parts service for anything yamaha sells and is always cheaper on prices than any one else i have found. Example the plastic that the air control and cb fit into goes for $180.+ at most, but is priced at $135. at boats.net . They just sent me a email that mine has been shipped today, not bad just ordered it two days ago and they had to get it from yamaha.

  25. i have done mine twice now and both times did not remove the rear down pipes , just take the two front pipes off and did the same as masterguns did . And yes you will say a few curse words getting the collector loose from the rear down tubes the first time ,i just pryed and wiggled it to get it loose. The second time it came off with no problem. you will have to remove the mufflers.
