good luck selling that motor.

Agreed on the composites, you ain't kidding. Unfortunately for us, SYP 2x8 and 2x10 are at a 30 year low. There are so many people out there quoting rock bottom it is difficult to get enough mark-up in commodities to make a buck. 10% gross will get orders and keep the lights on but we are really only moving dollars, pushing paper and keeping everyone here employed. Truckloads of 2" framing lumber that used to cost $9K or 10K are now $5k. Sorry to highjack I will step off the soap box now.

About the 35hp motor. I assume tiller? What is the shaft length? I have a friend looking for a 20" remote. He wants elecric start and power trim but won't come off his wallet for new.
