Like I said in my other threads, SK, I see all feedback as having value, whether it's positive or negative. :)

The guy I'm trading emails with said the motor is an '86 and that he checked the HIN and it checked out as an '83. CB wasn't certain, but I trust airslot's response that an '83 can have either.

That brings up a point about 20" transoms. As you can guess, I'll be boating/fishing on the Chesapeake, which is tight chop vs. swells. Should I be concerned about the engine getting swamped, or just shipping water over the lower notch? I have small kids, so if I have to, I'm going to rig some barrier (removable panel of starboard, most likely) to keep the 'crew' onboard and to do double duty as a splash blocker.
