While in Nassau, I visited the Yamaha dealer (Harbourside Marine). They do have (what appears to be) the old style 9.9's that are still sold internationally. There is a 6 month lead time on the order and I didn't get a price since I'm still good for a year or more. For info, e-mail Nicolas Rademaker at Yamaha1@coralwave.com This may be a way to make that Bahamas cruise even more attractive.
Please let me know how you make out if you explore this option. I'm at Kokomo36@juno.com
