Lots of fish near each landing, plus they like to be trolled. 

I think a new motor or the boat, motor and trailer is a better option.  Isn't it Karl's turn to buy a boat??  And yours to bring the beer?\

Have you talked to the evinrude mechanic guy over in superior?  I always seem to forget his name.  All he works on is Johnson/Evinrudes and rebuilds engines.  Maybe he'll take some off a used one for trading in yours, don't know.  He's got a big garage in one of the industrial parks in Superior, near the perkins by Barker's Island and has a ton of parts. Really nice guy and knows his stuff.

I believe his name is Dave.  Call my dad, he has his number.  My dads cell is 218-428-5436
