Yamaha F70 Rigging Costs

I've started shopping for a new F70. I'm trying to estimate what might I expect for 'Rigging Costs'.

The controls (binnacle, 2 cables, key switch), gauges (multi-function tach, analog gas gauge) and wiring (10-pin harness, oil/trim harness, harness extension) for the motor are all new Yamah parts. All installed and run.

There is new BayStar steering (helm/pump installed, hoses run), new battery cables run.

New fuel system.

I'm hoping they hang the motor on jack plate, connect cables, hoses, wires, bleed the steering and fire it up. (y)

My screws ups that they may have to fix aside, what do you think cost wise?

As a sidebar, any dealers you might recommend in the lower half of Florida?

Thanks

I already have An f70 installed but am in the process of a repower and have quotes for just over 9k installed ( for just engine not including new controls). If that’s what you’re asking.

I think a few shops quoted me 2k if I wanted all new controls and gauges.
Based on a low $8K price for the motor, that's a great price. Sales tax here (7.5%) would be $600 on a $8K motor.

Following. Also would be interested to know about what an f70 would cost
I've been looking in Facebook marketplace. Have a dealer in Ft. Lauderdale says $8100 + tax and rigging. Another a little up state says $8250 + tax and rigging. This is motor only.

I orders from here. No Eric doesn’t have it. I called Yamaha America. They could not help. I found one distributor in America that advertises the part and when I called them, they didn’t have it.

Thanks, ordered from UK this AM. $80 shipped. As a sidebar. I like the swivel grommet but too big for the area I'm working with. I called a place in the greater Chicago area that listed it on their website, couldn't get them to answer the phone.

Quick update. Found a motor in Largo Florida which is a haul (5 hours one way) but I can buy it and skip the rigging for now. Motor is $7,895 and with tax $8,418 out the door. Bad news is Yamaha just closed out the extended warranty availability on 3/31, so bad timing on my part.
