The motor is worth that. He's just throwing in the boat and trailer. That will last you a long time. The motor will be fine, if the boat don't sink:D . You should be fine if its two fast, just slow down. Check this link for new aluminum boats http://www.akmccallumco.com/boats-main.htm Remember you can always upgrade the boat to 16' modV welded for $1500-$1800. Or buy a used one for around $800-$1000. Sell the little boat and that trailer will work for the 16' modV. You'd be in a new boat and almost new motor for a little over $3000.
