u can do it for arond 700 if u have to buy an engine, northerntool.com has 6.5hp briggs and stratton engines for like 250 and the tev for 175 other than that the most expensive is the bullet lines or rope that u decide to use. the other things i.e the pillow block bearings, sprocket, hub, axle and whatnot are under 100 bucks at northern tool. the spool can be made a few ways. i used aluminum but guys are using go kart rims and things like that, but u can do it for around 700 and maybe a little cheaper if u shop around.
