Yes Sir, Capt.. I remember and respect that lesson. I guess I'm killing myself here because I don't have a clear goal in mind for this project. Kind of frustrating. I do not want to own an I/O at this point, but this hull lends itself to this application. Transom needs replacement, but I really like BigShrimpings live well and enclosed transom. I like the idea of a Hermco bracket, but if Denny can't find a solution to his Etec's inability to turn lock to lock, that concerns me. Not sure if you witnessed us trying to back into his slip in Sebastian. I was on the bow with a boat hook and feeling helpless as he fought that wind. Here, I have an 8 foot tide swing every 6 hours...
I'm keeping the 20 MA for retirement to Hernando Beach in 2.5 years. But I really like the Seafari and would like to think I will be dive certified and enjoy spear fishing at that time. I have that amount of time here in South Cackalacki, and the resources, to finish this project, as well as my Boston Whaler 15 Sport. I need a solid plan for the Seafari. Or clean it up and pass it on.
Anyhow, tank is pitched and pinched until I have a volunteer to work aft end of tank with me. I know better than to cut out floor where dog box sits.
Great phone call from FlexPat with cool suggestions and alternatives. Damn cool site!!!
