[QUOTE="DrainBamage, post: 353133, member: 14240"] I haven't gotten to the bow cover as of yet. I've disassembled the trailer and sanded the frame plus about a quarter of the hull. Nothing exciting so I didn't take any pictures. Next is lengthening the trailer tongue, then paint, new rollers, and bunks. I have 4 days off for this starting friday and should get the trailer done and quite a bit of the boat sanded. Looking at the bow tin cover, the dang thing might be structural. It also has floatation foam, so a creative compromise might be in order. If it were only just a foot shorter. Anyone have recommendations for outboard size? I'm thinking a 30hp ETEC will get her up on a plane with a few passengers, added weight of the floor and decks, gear, etc. The old 25 i had on there could plane with 700lbs in people and equipment. The next step up from there is the 40hp, which is dang heavy in comparison and a lot more cash. [/QUOTE]
