If you're interested: Yamaha is running a special on financing. No interest until 2005. Also- They DO have a regular pull cord on the T8. The only models without are the ones with the power tilt. Give up the power tilt and there's a regular pull handle to back up the electric start.
The new Hight Thrust 8 w/o power tilt has a regular pull handle. Also now has a fresh water flush on the outside of the engine. A couple sales people have told me that the old 8 and 9.9 high thrusts were basically the same motor they've had since '86 with a lot of modifications. The new T8 (high thrust) has been redesigned and is suppossed to be an entirely new engine.
