My neighbor gave it to me, AWESOME. He replaced two of these on his large boat with a permanent top.

It is perfect, plenty of head room even for tall guys, and large enough that you can stow it fore or aft and it doesn't interfere with the walkaround. I will try to get you the specs this week.

Nice looking boat. Ill bet it moves pretty good with that 150. I also really like the Bimini and would be interested in the specs on it. Also what is the story with the motor well. Did you make the box or buy it? Really nice.

The etec 150 is just right for this boat, great fuel economy (without the extra weight of a four stroke), and cruises comfortably at 30mph @ 3,200 rpm with a full load and the top up! Does a bit better with the top down and/or lighter load.

The motor well insert looks original, though it may be a reproduction. It was on there when I bought the boat.

Began demo last week. We have the jack plate/motor off, the gunnel inserts out and the console up. Pictures soon.

I will get specs on the top asap.

Got the transom and deck cut out. Will keep the transom at 20" and keep the jack plate.

And get that tank out, test/replace, and mount w/no foam.

concur with 25 inch transom and no foam fuel tank. Also those are some serious gobs of potter putty on there. looks like they were not squished down to much during fabrications. when i did mine, it wall pretty squished. interesting... love see rebuild pics and not posting them this winter.

Yeah, interesting. Looks like the floor was just above the putty, only a few spots where it actually made contact.

Yes the putty was not squished down. When the deck was replaced by previous owner about 10yrs ago, they staged it on top of the previous edge leaving a 1 inch gap from the deck to the stringers. this gap was evident when walking on the deck. We will replace with foam core deck with a nice crown attached evenly and consistently to the stringers which are in excellent shape
