I got it for 10k with an aluminum triaxle trailer.. my thought was worst case I can sell the trailer and generator and get the majority of my investment back... and if everything works out, I'll have a boat that will be worth 50-60k..
obviously I'll be dumping a decent amount in, but so far the motor seems good, tested everything I could and just fired it up 2 days ago on the stand and everything checks out..

I know that's more than you asked but sometimes I need to rejustify to myself what I got myself into lol
