[QUOTE="tholdah, post: 24527, member: 311"] Sorry...i'm doing something wrong here in trying to edit our post. Only 1/2 the story is getting onto the post. I wanted to add, that the guy who built this before us used flimsy aluminum angle iron for the cross beams, and didn't use any supports under it. It was like a trampoline! Also, in regards to the motor, like I said, we gambled with this. It needed a fuel pump, water outlet elbo, and the fuel inlet connector. A new fuel pump was $85, but we found all 3 pieces at our local outboard shop for $30. It took about 10 minutes to attach the parts; we hit the button and she fired right up! I'd say we scored. :D By the way, no offense to the local marine shops, but we wanted to put in new spark plugs. The marine shop was sold out, but sold them for $4.97 each. I bought them @ Wallyworld (Walmart) for $1.77 each. [/QUOTE]
