[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 296753, member: 9169"] So after waterfowl hunting out of this boat around 10 times or so this year, I've got a pretty good handle on what I want to get accomplished with it this spring. Apparently so does my buddy. He picked up a 1994 50/35 Johnson jet drive over the weekend for next to nothing. It needs a minor rebuild, but other than that is in great shape. I guess he got tired of the old '65 5hp Johnson we were using all winter. Great motor by the way, just a tad under powered at 5hp :? I haven't got the chance to check it out yet, but plan to stop over at my buddies tomorrow to get a look. I'll try to remember to grab some pics. Even though this will involve more $ and more work, it's got me excited again to get back to working on my boat. Plan on making it a stick steer and keeping all my other most recent plans for the boat. Looks like I'll be needing to make a jack plate for the motor. But other than that, shouldn't be to terribly much extra work..............I hope!! [/QUOTE]
