I've been buying and selling small boats, trailers and outboards for a couple of years now. Seems like a good way to learn about boating and also provide some financing for the proverbial "bigger boat".
A couple weeks ago I bought a short shaft 1963 18hp Evinrude - not sure why, but I wanted to mess around with it. Are there boats with a beam of no more than 61" (width of the gate to my backyard) that could handle this motor safely? My 12' aluminum is rated for 10hp, so thats out.
