Cabelas sells an aftermarket one that works real good for about 500

CMM- If you got the bucks the advice Nathan gives is right, or if you want you can add tilt and trim by finding the parts. IE pump, two rams, brackets,solenoids, hoses, trim switch, and wiring. This will cost between $200 anr $500 depending on where you can get the parts. I added tnt to a 67 65hp for under $200 off of ebay, but it took about a year to get all the parts at bottom prices.
