[QUOTE="d3vino, post: 272024, member: 5394"] I just replaced the motor with a 1957 Johnson 18 HP motor that I found on Craigslist. It runs great! I also replaced the bearings and tires&wheels from etrailer.com....very good prices compared to Wally world and local trailer shops. 4.8x12 tires for $53 each. I thinks that's ok. I am posting some better angled pics of the "console bar" for those that are interested. The console bar is just a 2x4 wrapped in the same gray outdoor carpet and attached to the bench with 3 inch stainless steel screws. I found some cup holders that fit perfectly after drilling out the right size hole. I glued them into the holes using wood glue. The 2x4 was a leftover piece I had lying around....was just barely long enough. I would have like another inch on each end, but it works and is pretty solid. I wouldn't tie the boat off to anything on the console bar, but the cup holders are also ahndy to hole lures and other small junk....kinda why I added some larger cup holders near each seat. [/QUOTE]
