Yeah, I'll use the Honda some way or t'other...but I really don't wanna cut this transom cuz eventually there'll be a 25" shaft on it...I'll try Spare's idea of a 6" set-back bracket and see if that'll get me thru til a 25" shaft shows up for it...so at this point, I am lookin' for such a bracket...haven't started search yet, so if anybody's got one in their pocket they're lookin' to part with, gimme a holler!!
Willy...hell yeah get yer @$$ down here for the SPLASH!!...although at present I have no idea of when that'll be...plan A is not to be inna hurry, although I should have her belly wet by late June for a trip to Sunset Beach we have scheduled.
Snow here overnite, but good weather all week ahead, so gonna start tearin' down the '74 and storin' the parts til the 21's ready for 'em...
If nobody wants the complete '74 hull, there will be some goodies parted out including windshield and forward sliding hatch and rails...the twin 40 gal fuel tanks and seat boxes have worked well since 1999 when originally installed...they'll be available as well...see my Gallery for pics of those...anyway, more to come as things progress...as always it's GREAT to have everyone's support and backup for a project like this...no doubt I feel the greatest team on the planet is looking over my shoulder on this...gonna be some-mo FUN!!...
