I will be adding a kicker. I mounted this 10hp short shaft sea king on the transom to see how one would fit. It does fit well and the motors would not hit once the steering is connected. It appears the short shaft may work but it probably needs a 20" shaft. I will be looking for something about 20hp.

It was kept on a covered sling with a boat cover on it from 97 to 08. It was an old man's boat, who gave it to his son in law in 06. Apparently both took good care of it. Now I have to follow along. There is not a scratch on the bottom of the hull. I'll have to keep it out of the shallow water. I still haven't decided if I will refrain from beaching it. Guess I couldn't climb over the bow with it beached anyway.

Tomorrow will be the first trip. I loaded my boat junk into it yesterday and found good places for everything. The only thing I'm not sure of is the anchor rope. I haven't found a good place to store it.

I had a 9.9 yamaha 4 stroke on a 24 grady as the kicker. It worked better than a 25 hp 2 stroke on my v20. Check out the 4 strokes designed as kickers unless you have a big 2 stroke just laying around. Mine had a stainless linkage connecteing the kicker to the main motor that worked well too. You really don't want to hand steer a kicker from the motor well for 5 hours....been there and never want to do it again.

Nice boat!

I got my check for title transfers back today. Post office found it lost in the mail. No titles with it.

Found the titles. They got sent back to the guy I bought the boat from. He said they're ripped in half
