I have a lead on a 2007 Honda Marine 150 hp 4-stroke outboard with about 5 hours on it that you might be able to get at a good price. the motor was fitted on to a manufacturer's demo before they realized the motor was just too much. Now the manufacturer of the boat has gone out of business. The motor's in the U.S. and the warrantee on Hondas isn't transferable across the border, or at least that's what I hear. but, if the price was right, it may be worth it. PM me if you want more information, and I'll put you on to the seller.

You're pretty stupid if you take that out in 8' waves.

Im looking forward to your next "BIG IDEA"

All things being equal, I'm in to her for about $5K-6K.
Boat $500
Big Motor $2K - $750 motor, $1250 complete wiring and tune up.
Kicker $1K
Trailer $1500
Other goodies approx $1K (i.e. paint, rod holders, h/w, etc).

I couldn't be happier with how well it handles ... even the 8 footers.

Caution to anyone who wants to try this ... it is NOT cheap building a boat retail. Now, with that said, the lay out of the boat is exactly how I want it. Even if I bought a running boat for a project, to get the customization I have on mine would still cost a couple of bones.

It's a hoot though. Lots of info on the web. I encourage anyone who fancies themselves marginally handy to give it a go.

Update on The Money Pit.
Kicker is installed and she is running like a top.

(Wolfe, I'm still only at 90% though, but I'm not done yet)
