[QUOTE="MikeA57, post: 102538, member: 1213"] Dneaster3, Be sure and check out the transom (that's the back of the boat in landlubber speak). It will likely contain some wood which may or may not be rotted. This is what will carry the weight of the something-horespower motor so you need to make sure it's strong enough to handle the weight of the motor and the stress of acceleration when you give the motor gas and take off. I presume that since you're putting in a livewell that you'll be using it to fish out of as well. The biggest thing there is aeration of the water and there's numerous threads on this forum covering that subject. Good luck and have fun! Mike [/QUOTE]
