Getting Started

[capt jeff]

MY 23' 1974 HAD A I.O, IT NOW HAS A EVINRUDE 225 ON A STAINLESS MARINE BRACKET W/ A FULL SWIM PLATFORM. I HAD THE TRANSOM REDONE 2 YEARS AGO & PUT A TUNA DOOR IN IT I LEFT THE ARCH ALONE STRETCHED THE DECK ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE TRANSOM about 6",, left just enough room for cables, fuel lines & such. THE CAP OF THE TRANSOM HINGES FORWARD TO ACCESS A STORAGE COMPARTMENT FOR A REAR ANCHOR, OIL JUGS, FLARE KIT,& THE WATER FILL CAP WITH PLENTY OF ROOM TO SPARE. never enough room in a small boat for stowage. IN HINDSIGHT I DONT THINK I WOULD HAVE DONE IT ANY DIFFERENT. IT HAS A CLEAN & SIMPLE LOOK . I GOTTA THANK MIKE A WILDFIRE MARINE IN STUART FLA . THIS GUY IS A GREAT CRAFTSMAN & HAS REAL GOOD IDEAS HOW TO CUSTOM DESIGN A BOAT FOR PERSONAL WANTS .MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE IS A CLASSIC IS A CLASSIC WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE A CLASSIC. BUT THATS JUST ME . I GUESS IT CAN ALWAYS BE CHANGED BACK ? ? ?
