I have been looking for a good used outboard for more than 3 months. I need a motor ASAP!!

My friend has a 16' Custom built wood jet boat, and has an 80hp Merc tiller-jet on it. He will only sell me the whole package. I only want his jet motor. So I'm trying to sell the boat and trailer for $1500. It's a really nice boat, with high sides, and a semi-V hull design. It has a complete storage cover included, and has been stored under cover, and used very little. Please e-mail for pics and more info.
