I've read the posts on converting from long to short shaft and vise versa, but am wondering about a few additional things:
1) a source for used parts and/or
2) a proper venue to offer a trade to someone wanting to go long: perhaps we could just switch parts. (Chattanooga craigslist would probably be a bit too narrow)
3) is the fact that this is a Seahorse going to make the parts any different than a regular Johnson 6hp?
4) Any other year/model specific info I should know about?
5) any comment on how much difference having a long shaft on a narrow, 12' jonboat would make? (It's a 1964 Sears jonboat)--maybe it's not worth the trouble?
Thanks everyone!
Matt.
