Thanks for the compliments.

77, Got your PM--I'm about to send one back.

tkb, didn't get your PM, maybe a delay?

floorboy, she runs well with the o/b, and rides even better since the installation of the bracket. The only time I wish I had more horsepower is when I have a crew of five guys and the 40 gal. transom livewell full (and ice, beer, etc)...but other than that it seems to push it well.

Here is a pic of the interior.

Beautiful boat. Do the rods/reels get much salt spray on them when sitting in the transom-mounted rod holders? I would imagine if you forget they are there and tilt the engine up you could do some damage.

Suprisingly The reels stay out of the spray pretty well. I think the closed in transom protects them pretty well.

I have not yet crushed the reels with the motor yet, but I am pretty consciuos about it when they are back there.

The new hardtop will have 8 rod holders welded on to start with--but I will probably add a few more. One thing I like a lot is lots of rod storage!
