You may want to consider parts and pieces. My aluminum wasa a new Waco
2050-16 for a couple grand, and then I used a 50HP Force I bought off EBAY
for about $700. Well under the number you listed. I have since added
trolling motor, fishing seats, etc. to run it up to about $4000 invested.
Since then I ran across a good deal on a 50HP 2004 Tracker Merc for $3K and
I have a spare 50 Force for my next project. (Actually I acumulated spare
parts for my Force and I have enough good tested parts for two motors.)

Slightly OT:

I'm in the market for a used aluminum bass boat. I've located a G3 185
boat
with trailer and 50hp engine. I checked NADA on the boat and the asking
price (from a dealer is on the high end of the Average Retail price. But
when I complete the NADA questioner, it does not list an option to include
a
motor (50hp on the boat for sale). Does anyone know if I should then add
the
NADA price of the motor into the equation? If so, the retail price goes
about $2000 more then the asking price of the boat.

It's a _great_ looking boat but at the most I only have about $5.3k to
spend
and this boat is listed at $6k. It's a 2001. I'm really looking for an
older
boat as to spend a little less. But it might be worth seeing what I can
put
together as this boat is very nice.
