If you have a freshwater motor . . . hang onto it and all the rigging. I run a 86 Merc on my boat and ran a 1979 powerhead before that.

When I go up to Ohio I always look for small boats for under $500 to do a project like the above when I get done with the 21.

Here is one that I think would make nice conversions.

BMT only $350
