Re: Help?
If your transom has wood on it I would replace that and make sure everything is in tip top shape with the motor pod, inspect all the welds really close to check for cracks and keep an eye on after you put the engine on.
They just didn't put giant engines on toons back then, a 90 was about it with some having 150s, it wasn't until the mid to late 90s that they started putting the huge engines on them.
