 Here is my power plant. A 1979 135 that has very very very very low hours. I am only the third owner of this motor, my dad was the second owner and a good friend of my dad was the first owner. My dads friend david never used this motor at all, as been decribed to me by david is that he only ran this motor 40 or 50 times. my dad owned it for 5 years and used it 4 times. I have owned it for 4 years and can say i have only used it 20 to 30 times. do the math fellas!!! how many hours are truelly on this 79' ? I painted it 3 years ago yamaha blue because i had some spray cans left over from painting my 200 yamy on my seaox.The seadrive bracket you see this motor on has only been run in fresh water since 1985. my question is should i use the bracket? should i make it 25 inch transom and find a gimble bracket with power trim tilt? or should i keep her old old school and put her on the gimble bracket that has the manual tilt? I want simple!!! i want functional!!! this motor is running 132lbs. on all cylinders. give me some advice fellas.

It would be nice to do away w/all the weight of the original bracket if you can...and you can lengthen the shaft two ways...find a spacer or a longer mid-section...either way will get the job done...

so no bracket. and build the transom to a 25 inch transom? Sounds like a winner to me. I was kinda pushing away from the bracket. I can use it to sell and fund more of my project!!or use it to sell and fund the cost of the mid section.

     Demo went good today,only took me an hour to demo the floor circular saw really does a dosey on the floor and makes it it a cinch to remove, just set the depth and start cutting. As you can see in the pics I cut the floor up to the step and recess which used to be the entrance to the cuddy. What my plans are for that is to glass the step up flush and make it a storage with a drain hole with a removable hatch. I kept the other fish boxes so i can prep them and use them when I set up my new floor and glass them in. I can tell that this build is gonna be a blast!!!!! All comments and recommendations are welcome.

      [IMG]Well I removed the old transom today.And started prepping it for replacement. I highly recommend anyone doing this kind of job to purchase the sanding disc like the one I have on my grinder, I t makes quick work for prepping the transom. I have some questions for you guys, Should I lay up some mat on the transom before i laminate the first piece of ply ? should I just roll the resin on factory skin and then laminate? Or should I thicken resin then trowel on and then laminate? I have read that all methods have been used, Im just looking for the strongest.
