Thanks for the tip Gregory :). Shipping is a pain though with anything
coming out to Hawaii. I found two good 1/3 hp motors for about $15 on
ebay the other week, and was keeping an eye out for something just like
what you posted. If I could get the shipping costs under control, it'd
be a snap haha. Still, I'm holding out, seeing if I can repurpose
something for the container.
Thanks again!
