thanks. Looks like I am down to one option. $445 out of my pocket. Oh well, from all that I see, the transadapter is a great looking option, and sturdy as well. Didn't want an extra $500 in the berth, but what are we going to do? These are classic boats. I want mine to look great and still be strong.

The 1966 boat was given to my father new when he was 15. He passed it down to me when I was 15. Have done plenty of reworks on the wood. Never tackled new glass/paint/transom. Should be an interesting off season... I will make a project album to show the progress.

Looking forward to letting it fly with the 48hp on it.
