Remember his boat does not have a bracket. Thanks, Tom

It would be perfect and you'll proably get 2.5 MPG. A new fourstroke for a mere $7500 more would get 3.5 - 4 mpg., but you would need to run 3500 miles before you broke even on the fuel. St Marks is a good place to start the Great Circle Route from. Tommy-Lee, if you ran that loop you would just make up the fuel burn difference. Bolt it on and let her eat, but you'll need to hunt for a new motor about 2022. It's an OX-66 with a 66% shorter crank - use good fuel and keep the carbs clean. You'll be happy.
