I think I paid $4200 for a rebuilt 200 HP Evinrude Ocean Pro. I would think a good ball park number on my restoration was around $7 grand not including the motor. I did a fair amount of trailer work...

You can absolutely use divynicell in the stringers, especially if you could get it in the full sheets. The cheapest place I found to purchase it cuts the 4'x8' sheets into 2'x4' sections to reduce...
