Were you to choose to put a bracket and outboard on your boat, you're into even more money.
$5K to rebuild the transom.
(Only $1800 if you do it yourself)
$3K for a flotation bracket.
(Maybe only $1600-1800 used).
$20K for new 25" or 30" 2018 Mercury Verado 300 hp
(Dealer cost is around $18.5K. A NOS left-over 2015 300XL is around $17K, and low hours used 2011-2013 300XL can be purchased for around $11K)
Then you've got your installation to do...
