Great little tinny, I would like to do the exact same to mine regarding the 40 upgrade so it was good to get a bit of an idea of what I need to do.

Great vid mate, I've pretty much done the same to my quinine 3.9 explorer. Paid $3000 for it with an 18hp Tohatsu . Suprisingly gets up on the plain easily with all the extra weight I added to it and gets me to my fishing spots. I opted for the watersnake bow mount as it suited my budget. Had it for 2 years now, use it just about every weekend and never skipped a beat, touch wood. When it dies I'm going for a minn kota with spot lock.

Hey mate, I just watched the part about your hatch's getting a bit mouldy. If I was you I'd chuck a couple of coats of polyurethane (I really like Cabothane) on then give it a light sanding and paint it black after that. Polyurethane is a really durable finish 🤙
