I can hang the 300 I have here and rig a 10'' hyd jack plate and hyd. steering for 39K.

Stop it Bob. Just quitUhhhm... actually, how fast would that be? Is a 300 legal on that thing?

That's pretty affordable without a mota, I forget how rediculously expensive outboards are sometimes. $5,800 for a BBC but $16k+ for an ob with 1/2 the hp potential.
I have a closed deck 2100 here with the 300 on it and a 29" Tempest. It is capable of 90. I have been told the open bows are a little slower because of wind resistance. Certainly mid to upper 80s. These new 300 Optis are real nice. quiet too.

A 496HO "package" is a bit over $20,000
lol, good point. Down here there are I/O parts-a-plenty considering all the damaged boats after storms and accidents. Most of them have perfectly good engines and parts, just totalled hulls. A friend of mine picked up a complete bravo outdrive for $400 after wilma.Is that $5800 including out-drive exaust and everything???
