    You would need:
    Outer 5-inch extension housing.
    5-inch longer driveshaft.
    5-inch water tube extension (or a 5-inch longer water tube).
    5-inch shift rod extension (or a 5-inch longer shift rod – requires gear case disassembly).
    Four more 1/4″-20 bolts and one 5-inch longer rear bolt.

    thanks.. too much work for me this year. I will probably end up selling her. no need to mess up a good thing. someone else can use her now that I redid the fuel lines, cleaned carb and found a very good gas tank for her.

    I am going to put her in a can and make sure the prop isnt slipping also. thanks for the information.
