Bah, was late to an auction this morning and missed a Sporster in great shape go for 1000 bucks. Not sure of the year but it had the Merc engine. People didn't want to bid because "it was missing the out drive." I asked the guy who bought it if I could take a look at it. Everything was there including the pump, I think people were looking for a prop. Super clean boat, and while I have no idea how it is mechanically I am thinking that guy scored a great deal.
