23 CC minty green!

[Wildman]

The U shaped wood is just 2X4PT shaped to fit. The console has a slight angle to it. It should fit tight.

I built my transom with the overhang, instead of an inside 'wall' because I have big feet and like to tuck my toes under there. This way you can 'belly up' to the transom cap instead of having to turn sideways. There are plenty of guys who went with 2-3 doors across there, and a solid wall, just not what I wanted.

I will be using my 225 Oceanpro to start for power, I also have a line on a 250 Etec with short hours, but its not in the budget this year (until the older motor blows up)

The 25in motor will get run and see how it works, if it does stupid things (porpoise etc) then Ill put the extension on there.

It got wet when the last boat sank on the beach, and the lower 2 carbs got wet. They shot the crank with salt, and it locked up slightly. I rebuilt the carbs, ran it on overoiled fuel, fogged it, and its not locked up now (5 months of sitting later)

I dont trust the longevity. I dont have good luck with things like this. I am sure the bearings will wipe out of it after 2 min of run time. If not, then Ill run it the rest of the season and replace it later.
