Understood. I realize folks here wouldn’t have much to offer about late model motors, but I’m especially interested in finding someone to help with the fiberglass work. The transom appears to be solid, which is a common failure point with these hulls, but I’d like a pro’s opinion about that. The boat spent most of its life in a boat house, so it’s in decent shape over all, with the exception of likely saturated foam below the cockpit floor.
I don’t disagree about the looks. The hull is rated to 70hp according to my sources. The existing motor is 40hp but I’d like to put a 50 or 60 on it for just a little more oomph with 4 or 5 people aboard (assuming the hull and transom check out). The only marina on this lake isn’t interested in servicing older motors, so that’s another consideration.
