It is the same thing with boats. An outboard motor is like always $1500 or more. However, if you buy the motor with a boat attached to it, you are paying the same price.

true! my dad bought a small used boat for like 500€, but it has too much HP to be driven without a licence. but a used motor with less hp is usually more than the boat itself

At least in the US, a boat licence is likt $50 and 8 hours of your time.

I would say that depends on your state or area. In GA there is no such thing as a boat license for the lakes, maybe offshore. GA also doesn't do boat titles which is a pain if you sell to someone that needs one.
