<br /><br />Hey your signature has the motor I want... you can sell me that 79 johnson 6 hp right? <br />I bet anything with a 90 degree gearcase would be an improvement though. I've felt your pain. My first outboard was a 1.5hp and my second was a 4hp weedless and I had a 12' tinny. They were actually similar speeds due to the angle of that weedless leg slowing down the 4hp. Then I got a 9.8hp and life was good. <br />Eric So ended up paddling it today... not a good paddling boat at all.<br /><br />
I'm probably going to build wifey a yak somewhat like Captian Periwinkle's so she can row with the dog... this was the first time this dog has been near a body of water bigger than a dog dish.... it was freakin hilarious... she went running down and went to run out on the water thinking she could stand on it... turns out when ya run onto the water, you sink. anyway she got accustomed to it quick and she likes the boats too. busted the recoil spring today and cut the rope so I could wrap it around the flywheel... never got it started today. I'm heading out of town bright and early in the a.m. Got about an 18 hour drive ahead of me so I might be semi absent for the next couple of days... I'll still keep up with reading but posts might be kept short and sweet as i'll have the cruise set at 80 So without further adieu here it is... <br />
... I of course will put a folding boat seat in it cause I'm a creature comfort creature. <br /><br />I did get the truck fixed... starter and tore the steering column ignition apart... it was a tooth or two off. oh well..
