Highfield… any regrets?

How long did it take for delivery? Lift or no lift?
Both times my wife was home so they put the box in the garage. The small one was in a box the bigger was on a pallet.
Call them and work out the details… easy to deal with

I stand corrected….I went back thru my notes and my last 9.9hp I bought from https://www.powerequipmentdirect.com/outdoor/outboard-motors.html
Outboardsonline didn’t have stock… both companies were good

here is a pic of the 9.9 on a pallet that you can’t see.

Grabbed the last Highfield 310CL in arctic gray from A&S boats in Connecticut. I’ll be headed to get it in the next month or so, they said they’ll hold it for us as long as we need. Really nice group of people

looking forward to next year with this new boat. Hurley h2o is also on the way. I’m going to stick with our old 9.9 at least for the beginning of the season but plan on going to a 20hp 4 stroke, probably a tohatsu

I looked at the Tohatsu, but ultimately went with the 20 Suzuki for a number of reasons but the ability to get a white engine and a fantastic dealer near by made the choice easier. Who thought that making motors black was a good idea? Water spots drive me crazy.

I have been super happy with the Zuk!

the dealer said that too, he said everyone who's bought the sukuzi's have loved them
 
where has everyone bought their highfields? Has to be US based (apparently theres a 25% import tax from Canada on them rght now?), anything within driving distance of western NY is preferred.

So far I've spoken to a dealer in Chicago but they want $675 to ship a 310CL to us and its a 10hr drive from me. There is a dealer in Ohio that's only about 5hrs but I haven't heard back from them yet. I have an enclosed trailer large enough to get it home so I'd really prefer to go get it
Bought mine from Coral Gables Yacht Sales in Holland Mi.
 
A couple questions on the Highfield Sport 360 is the 20Hp motor plenty enough? And how many of you buy them new?
And do you really need a trailer?
Looking around if I find a used center console for sale I feel it is over priced for the condition it is in plus I rarely find any aluminum ones for sale and I really want to go with the aluminum RIB to keep weight down.

20hp seems a bit light for a 360? I've got a 25hp on my 325. I wouldn't want less than that.

I sold my trailer a week after buying my dinghy. I have zero use for a dinghy trailer...
 
Saved myself $4,500 today. Tried to buy a classic 310 and my two local dealers are sold out for 2022 :(
 
New 2022 Suzuki 15hp EFI ordered. Yep, got the white one. Not sure why every other outboard has black cover --- never have figured that out but I do know with the sun beating on that black, the covers sure are burning hot :)
