You might also look at older boats that are for sale. Some times I see them for sale for cheap with a fairly good trailer.
Years ago, I needed a new motor for the small boat I had. I ended up buying a used Boat-motor-trailer. I swapped the motors and trailers. I then sold the "new" boat with my old motor and old trailer.
My "new" 20 hp motor ended up only costing me something like $ 400 to 500.
