    Where to find serial number of my motor?

    You might try raising the motor, sometimes the stickers are under there and covered with crud, should be visible looking forward at the back of the clamp you bolt thru.

    What to do with my motor when towing?

    It will bounce around and mess up your paint job for sure.... mabey even pull the back down into the water....way back in my younger days I saw a guy loose a 50 hp Merc due to bad wood. His clamp on mount just crushed the wood. The chain held it, but needless to say he took on lots of water...

    Penn Yan Commander 339 (33') with a tunnel hull

    From the little I know...drag is the issue, surface area contacting the water made them rather ineffiecient. Being heavy and a tunnel, they tracked well but could be difficult to manuever in tight spaces. There reputation was a fuel guzzler. Take this for what it is worth, being no longer made...
