Thanks, Guys! I didn't intend to post in for sale. I guess I just didn't know where I was. As usual.
I have been all over the Bob"s Machine site and would likely go with one of their products, pending what I heard here. The two things I'm most concerned about is the extra leverage created by moving the weight of the motor aft and the process of finding the right prop. One that works well jacked up, but also works when running offshore in bigger waves in the down position. Then again, I guess I could run different props for different days.
Thanks for the links and testimonial. Exactly what I was looking for.
Unfortunately, that nasty cold front that's been terrorizing the rest of the country finally made it down to Florida yesterday, just as I was ready to head for the ramp with the 13 for shakedown. Today ain't lookin' too great either.
