Out of the box failures happen a lot more than people think with the cheaper products (and sometimes the expensive ones too).

This again. Wait, put money aside, wait some more. When the boat is in the water with a running motor buy something. You have previously said you are on a years opposed to weeks rebuild. The stuff that is new now will be secondhand in 2 years
