[QUOTE="SmallieBigs, post: 153697, member: 3631"] Well I think I need a bigger boat now...I just bought an old but really clean Chrysler (West Bend) 20 hp short shaft tiller with a 6 gal plastic tank really cheap $150. It starts up easy in 1 to 2 pulls, shifts really smooth, and under the cowl it looks almost new. It definitely wasn't left outside much at all. Even the paint on the outside looks good. I will throw up some pics later. I haven't done anymore work on the boat because I was holding out looking for a motor and cash is a little tight at the moment. Are HP ratings on boats because of weight or thrust power? I don't think the little 12' Sea King would handle this motor as is without beefing up the transom, it weights about 75 lbs. What do you guys think? [ATTACH type="full" alt="Picture 025.jpg"]15933._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Picture 024.jpg"]15934._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
