well do you no any history on the motor?? The lower unit can hang there for 20 years, nothing is going to happen to it!
Drain the oil and look at it, try turning it see if it is free? Might be able to sell it to help with some money for another motor??
A good lower unit with a little paint can get you upward $500, worth a shot.

Also, were are you7 located?? I forgot
