Hey Bill...

what type of voltage do you have available??  single or 3 phase??  I have a 
3 phase 5 hp available for shipping costs...  I may even be able to come up 
with a 3 phase controller for the 5 hp motor also ...

let me know asap so I can procure the controller and get you a price on 
shipping for the combo or either...
