Re: Hello everyone - new guy here
Here are the pix. I got the big boat 2 weeks ago and the small boat last week.
The big one is a 1979 North American, 22' 8" LOA. Very solid.
The small one is a 1973 Dolphin tri-hull 15' 3" LOA, onto which some maniac installed a 1986 115HP Mercury! Uhhhh.... NO! LOL
I was searching for a motor for the big boat when I happened upon the little guy with the big outboard sitting outside a pawnshop. The whole package for the Dolphin, the Merc, the Magic-tilt trailer, battery, fuel tank, anchor and other accessories was less than I'd seen for an engine alone. So I HAD to get it too!
Now I have a big boat to take waaaaayyy out into the Gulf and the small one for fishing freshwater and the flats.
The plan is to take the Merc off the small boat and put it onto the big one as a temporary "get it in the water" approach. Later, as funding comes along, I'll acquire and install another 115HP Merc and have twins on there.
The little boat needs stringers replaced and I'm also planning on making improvements as well. And it'll obviously need to be repowered.
Gonna be fun.
