First time posting. What a wealth of knowledge here on these old boats.
I recently picked up this old boat, trailer, and 1975 Johnson 115HP for $400. Fired the motor right up, I still can't believe it.
Plan is to build this one into my main boat. I do alot of catfishing, and fish out of the back of the boat, so the open layout and windshield should be nice.
I plan to purchase a new 115 Yamaha or Mercury four stroke. Do you guys think the additional weight will be an issue? The old V4's were around 300 pounds, and the dry weight of the Yamaha is 377.
Pics to come!
