[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 482251, member: 15636"] Had a friend who once had one of those vintage Cadillac boats, complete with 'fins' on the back, like shown. The boat was simply [b]STUNNING =D> ! [/b] Based on my idea, he took a newer Nissan 25hp electric start OB and fabricated a baseplate that affixed to the engine pan, so that an old OMC motor cowling from the 50s would latch onto it. You could even flip down the cover on the front and still pull the rope start, if needed. [b][i]It looked way cool [/i][/b](painted to mimic a vintage OB) but gave him the reliability he was also looking for. That was quite the cruiser!
