Outboard Bracket

[mpcalfa2]

Okay, more advice. I went to look at the boat today and committed the first sin on this board of not taking pics as my camera died and I was too aggravated to try and get it going. Anyway the hull is in decent shape, no soft spots solid transom and the trailer was passable. Usual wear and tear for a 1980 but nothing structural. Now the bad. The gas tank is going to have to be remoned as it filled with salt water. He has been using a portable tank this season. It does need a flywheel. Three teeth are missing from it. Also there seemed to be a lot of oil around the engine compartment. The price is right, $1000 for all, I just want to know what kind of project I might be looking at. I'm very tempted to take it anf throw a bracket on the back. Sorry for the long post but any help would be appreciated.---Mike
