    First time poster here, I've been viewing this site for the last few months as I have been rebuilding a 1960 Bellboy 14'. The site has been great...thanks for all the info! The boat currently has a 35 HP Johnson, but I recently purchased a 9.5 HP Johnson to use on Utah's high country lakes (its...
