OK, looks like this is a Nauset/Eastport. Any updates on the recommendation for motor height? It is 16'7"...close enough to 17' for me!

Question - what is the difference between the hulls on the Nauset, Eastport, Sakonnet? From the pics, they all seem to look the same. I purchased this boat and none of the internals (seat/console) are period correct. I don't care about that, but I DO need to know how to optimize the motor performance along with the usual facts about the hull.

This is the first non-aluminum boat I've owned, so there is a learning curve here. Trying to do as much homework/research as possible.

Still a 'newb' to these forums, great resource for helpful info...thanks so much!
