I have already made contact with these people - the boat is a 20 and not a 22 or 23 as i had hoped.

Unfortunately the hull is black and would need to be totally re-done.

I am getting some better pictures of the boat and will let everyone know about the results - not too far to trailer from cali.

i am also looking at a 23 in cali - outboard with two original 115 mercs - too expensive though as I would be looking at big $$ to repower.

The one you showed me might be the one - bracket and put an outboard on it , ttop and re-awgrip and off to the races.

Thanks for keeping me in mind.
