As with any hobby, if you sell, you will never get out the time and effort
put into it.

I don't even think about costs, I just do it. ;)

$1000 new head, manifold, riser
$1000 new gimble, bellows, trim cylinder
$ 500 oil pan, engine coupler
$ 400 Bracket
$1800 used outboard
$ 400 loss on 2nd motor
$ 700 3rd used outboard
$2400 new trailer
$ 500 new starboard stuff

Thats $12,900 and doesn't count the new axle and stuff for the old trailer, not counting cables, steering, bolts screws, seats, winch, safety equipment, GPS, fish finder, and the list goes on and on and on!!!!!!

If I had all the cash at once I could buy a great boat right now!!!!

Not too far off mine...good example of why I've said in the past, when a real nice one comes along and they want BIG $$, sometimes it's well worth it ;) 8) ...
