I'll take exception to one line item cost that Scott laid out, age appropriate working outboards can be had for less that $2000 at least around here. I'm still able to get most parts for my 82 merc 50. Picked up an 87 merc 70 recently for $400 and while not had it running, compression is...
Yeah did about 10 days or so, really dehydration so been recovering from that for a bit. Lips still kinda 'thick'. Just need to jump I'm the pool more often.

Yeah same here but we have humidity....
