Let's see and correct me if I am wrong

Engines - $20k ( pair of used good running engines like 496's HO or 500's carb )
Drives and transom assemblies- $6k ( used of course )
Hydraulic steering - $3000 ( I don't see it in the pics )
Cockpit upholstry - $3000
Cabin $3000
Clean buff paint touch ups here and there $ 2000
New cover -$ 3000- ( you gotta have a cover )
Labor to put all of the parts together like steering engines drives etc , $3000
Miscellaneous $3000 ( they always come up)


Am I too far off with this numbers?? Remember most parts named above would be used,

Not for me can't spend that kind of money now , hope this helps someone , I am sure the experts will pitch in .
