Another amazing find

I'm thinking, and someone mentioned it already on the dock, to go buy a lottery ticket because my luck lately has been pretty outstanding. Just last week I scored a sweet deal on an electrical panel, and just yesterday, I picked up a 2010 Honda 2hp outboard for an amazingly cheap price... less than half of what it is worth new..
Normally, this would seem like just an ok deal with the amount of abuse that most outboards receive, but this engine has a total of less that 10 hours of run time on it! Its practically brand new! Imagine running your car for only 10 hours in 5 years. How far could you have gone? Where would you have gone? Not anywhere practically.

A little about the Honda - its an air-cooled, 2hp 4-stroke outboard that weighs 27lbs. It can propel a small dinghy (like my Walker Bay 8) at up to 6-8 knots. Also, being a 4-stroke engine means I don't have to make any special gasoline mixtures like you do with a 2-stroke engine. Remember mixing oil with your gas to feed a chainsaw? Yeah, that wasn't annoying or anything...
And its a Honda. If I keep the oil properly changed and keep running clean fuel through it, it'll last forever.

Yeah... I'm gonna buy lottery ticket :D
