there is NO WAY it has to be thousands... heck, with diligent searching you could find a rotten boat with a good drivetrain and a trailer for a few hundred and then stripping and junking the boat you can sell the trailer.
Click the link in my sig about my monte carlo where it says "build thread here and see what a determined person w very little money can do While you're at it go ahead and sign up on iboats as it is a VERY good resource for boat info and that will let you see the pics of my build.

OK, so you won't be happy with me but I am sort of meeting half way. I am going to repower my boat. I am going to put a 7.2 hemi in it...
But on a more serious note, I am going to fix the motor or at least have it fixed, so the means you guys have to put up with me for a while longer. I feel much better now. You can't know how stressed I was about this frigging boat, really it's just a boat. I'll be back on the water in 2 weeks.

We are still in the process of unsticking or most likely replacing. I am picking up a used motor on Thursday. As I mentioned earlier the problem is getting the motor out of the boat. An engine hoist is not tall enough. I need a A frame hoist.

Pulling the motor from my boat is beyond my capabilities. I would need help or I would help who ever was doing the pulling. I wish you guys were closer and could as least supervise. The boat is a 1982 and I think the last users did not take care of the boat, ie) I think they might have over heated the motor. So… the bright side of this is, we (the Royal we) can check the 'new motor' and make sure there are a few years of boating left.
