Homemade short tail mud motor from Ebay plans. Cost was around $1000.00 with motor, more than I hoped but still lot less than a new factory built one. Did waste money on few things like stainless steel prop that was to small and the V-belts and pulleys which did not work. getting the drive shaft, turn and tilt bolts tapped cost around $175.00 but was $300.00 initially but the guy messed up and took a long time. Tried to tap them myself but with steel was to hard and took a professional lathe. Lots of metal sheeting I got from a local metal shop where i can dig through their scrap pile. I highly recommend getting a MM measuring tape if you go with Ebay plans.
P.S. Sorry about the annoying clicking sound in the audio!
