actually got it from boaters world.  Had to pay shipping but we didn't plan to buy a new engine and they allowed us to finance it.

Nice to hear someone else with the ultralong loves it.  We have not got to use it yet since our new slip is going to require driving in reverse slot.  Also we are sanding and oiling all our exterior teak since someone varnished it
