I'd save your money bro. You may get the motor for $300, but it will cost you SOMETHING to bolt it up, attach controls, and fix SOMETHING that probably IS wrong with it however minor. It's the end of the season in a crappy economy. Someone else will be selling a decent motor at a decent price about the time you are posting here about how the Force blew up on you and left your family stranded. You said the rest of the bayliner looked like hell. Do you think they took the extra time to do maintainence and winterize if they won't even clean the boat up to sell it? Just my opinion.
