nice boat for a first one mine was a glass 14ft clinker with a seahorse 40hp it had electric gears no tilt and electric start
took it out after giving it a paint job had it going flat out then i hears a drowning noise the engine come off lol lucky for the old steering cables kept it from sinking. good news got it home got all the water out and it only broke a key way on the flywheel so i made one and had it out on the water the same day
think i was doing a bit of this
when i put the engine back on
and about the 3 ft short my wife always tells me im a few inches short lol
