Welcome to the site!
Add to your signature your location, year of the boat, motor type, size and year. This will help us to quicker diagnose problems.
As always, pictures like you planned. Being you got a Merc, if one comes available near you, with interchangable parts, you got a headstart. If something else pops up very cheap, then that might be the best way to go. If you do find a suitable motor, insist on seeing it run and do a compression check. Most everything after that should be easy. Post questions (and pictures) as you go, this will save you time and money.

Congrats on the new aquisition and welcome to the board...if an outboard(sounds like it due to transom cut down), you might want to consider rebuilt power-head...a "hole-in-one" in this game ain't a good thing...if the transom was cut down, as long as it is SEALED and not seeping water into it, you oughtta be OK...
Pictures when you can...

Just to give you some idea of a reman powerhead.
Average core charge you will have to pay being yours ain't salvagable $700. Average powerhead (your type) with 1 year warrenty $2800 and up. Chances are fair you will run across an engine with a damaged foot or even a derlict rig with a good engine for around $1500.

There ought to be a lot of motors the same as yours available with a destroyed foot laying around.
Around here it 's the opposite, most people blow the engine and have foots laying around.
