I hope they come down a little more.

This is going to be a nice ride!

Looking forward to doing this someday as well.

ya i revisited the s54 idea but its just not worth it doller wise compaired to a euro s50b32.
best price i got installed with all parts was 12-13,000, thats just to much when compaired to the euro s50b32 motor with the same power.
the euro motors are 150-200 pounds lighter as well from what i was told and in the future will be far more rare in my PO.
i like most of you i keep waiting for the s54 to come down in price and for it to become more comon place but its been 4-6 years now and very little progress has been made and i cant see that changing any time soon.
so i just decided to go euro and if things change a few years down the line then maybe.
but i just cant see the point of it with the horse power being the same and the euro motors being lighter what sense would that make
i guess if you wanted to say you have a newer (heavier more costly) motor ;)......then i would say go for it :up:
but for me the last thing i want to do is add more weight to the vert.

i may be picking up another euro motor this one being an s50b32 with 80k so ill be keeping the s50b30 for another project or it will be up for sale.
