Anybody else frustrated by Yamaha outboard pricing in NZ?
Has anybody bought overseas and imported to save on costs? Any advice?

Just to rub salt in the wound they have an article on the NZ yamaha website on how Aussie pricing is better. https://www.yamaha-motor.co.nz/discoverews-and-sews/marine/2016/april/yamaha-outboards-now-better-value-than-ever - https://www.yamaha-motor.co.nz/discover/news-and-events/news/marine/2016/april/yamaha-outboards-now-better-value-than-ever
