Yep, pretty much the answers I was wanting to hear! Just needed some back up. I guess if I had the money, I would opt for a bracket with the large platform (would be great for swimming and spearfishing) and a shiny new four stroke. Since that is out of budget a compromise might be a float bracket without the platform and a used two stroke. I have seen the little box style one that Stainless Marine makes for a good price. I started shopping around for used outboards after I got home and will make some calls tomorrow for prices/options. Lots of boat snobs in this area who think nothing of re-powering at a cost more than I make in a year! There are definitely deals to be had.
Anyone have any idea about the door? I could probably make something but could use a close up picture of the door and top connection. I'll start cruising the gallery now.
Thanks again guys! Got to love a website dedicated to one make/model of boat.
