    I dont know really. Alloy is pretty cheap but labour isnt.
    Most of the cheap light dingys are made from a softer alloy than than normal"marine" grades and are then pressed or rolled form into them to give them some strenght which is how they can use 1.6-2mm alloy and still be strong enough. This is gear you dont have unless your buisness is building boats.

    Which leaves plate boats which ironicly because its stronger and cant be pressed into form without fracturing needs to be thicker to be strong enough...which is heavyer and more expensive but can take some knocks where the others will open like a zip on a sharp rock.

    On top of the $330 for the motor, add on freight, GST, fees, exchange rate and spares of whatever is likely to break.

    I'd estimate about NZ$850 landed.

    Not even sure where you would get the rivets from nowadays. You wouldn't want pop rivets so it would have to be the old hammer and dome jobs. No, no, no. Welded is the only viable option.

    Yep. Those things are straight off the output on the motor with what looks like about 6' of drive shaft.
    Surface drives are cool. I was on a skiff that had 100' of tail for a 50' boat. Twin Arnesen surface drives with massive cleaver blades and around 1200HP behind each one. Nice to Palma was a fun trip.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
