Welcome to the world of boating. Everything costs more than it probably should.
Hasn't anyone mentioned that those NOS (New Old Stock) parts are made of "Unobtainium?"
What do you think it costs someone or a business to stock a part like that for the last 40 or 50 years?
Or get creative, there's a ton of those distributor drive belts out there on Evinrude-Johnson-Gale 1958-1969 V-4 outboards.
Buy an old outboard and rob it for parts.
My mama said there'd be daze like this.

Welcome to the wonderful world of obsolete parts! If you can get a size, you can probably find something close that would work. Unfortunately about the only suggestion to pursue this would be a decent dealer with good knowledge of OMC parts & product. Maybe one of the other guys can offer something better.
