Go on to the MotorGuide site to find a dealer here in WA.
I've go the 47lb on a 3.9 hornet and it does the job fine, but 54lb would be even better. Make sure you get a anode put on the shaft as they are freshwater models, and rinse them after each use you will have no dramas.
I think they cost about $1000 and then grab something like a Delcor deepcycle 100Amp atleast.
do a search on this site for motorguides and you will find heaps of info.

Brand new it would go pretty close for a 54lb. I think i got a quote of $750 for a 47lb MG. a fair while back.
then you've got a battery of atleast $100 and a charger which could go anywhere from $50-300.
