The hard part is waiting to get a new motor, even though this old Tower of Power runs very well. I haven't purchased a new motor since 2006, when I bought the 90 Optimax to put on the back of my 2-boats-previous 20 Seafari, the Fishalot III.
My local Evinrude dealer is going to see if he can get one of the several left-over 2016 E115DPX motors another dealer has up in Illinois. No definite word on price yet, but he thinks he can get the purchase price under $8K, not counting controls, prop, and a tach with idiot lights, and sensor harness for NMEA2000, or about $9K to $9.5K out the door including tax and rigging, (assuming I bring it ready to rig).
