[QUOTE="BloodStone, post: 73256, member: 826"] The answer to the first question is I don't know. I'm [u]still[/u] waiting on the guy with the motor to make time for me to see it :x There is also a 1988 Johnson Sea Horse 15 hp long shaft that I looked at (the marine guy wants $600.00 for it). He also has a 1976 9.9 hp Johnson for $450.00. BUT if I can see the motor of Captain Slo' Poke, then I'll know which way to go. I'm not Not digging the idea of raising the height of the transom 5" so I can use the 15hp Long shaft. Anyway, the transom is in fair shape (46" or so across). Although tonite I went to Home Depot & purchased an oak 4'x 1 x 8. I am going to combine (I.e. glue) that with a 3/4' 4' piece of plywood & replace the transom (feel more comfortable with this than what's currently on there). Here's the link to the pics of the boat & transom [color=#0000FF]https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6799[/color] I have an answer to that, "uhhhhh what tag, officer? I don't see no tag, it's missing" :lol: (besides with our beloved :roll: Governor Granholm's hack job, oops I mean budget cuts, I doubt I'll run into too many marine police or whoever especially where I fish.
