Outboard came off transom

[@dooleyfussle8634]

So that's why they recommend a bolt through the transom! My little 4 hp Suzie just vibrated my drain plug out of the transom and the wife and I had to do a quick shuffle to get it up on the dock...

Dang super lucky! All those years of being a teen payed off

[@codemang3635]

Pretty much just for fun. Wanted something unsinkable, fast, light, and cheap. Adds a lot of fun to a dive too.

[@damianburbidge2371]

Ouch 😢

[@robertbodell6149]

That is what they put those clamps on for

What one is it on the website

Gtg450

[@warren6172]

Dang, you got sooo lucky. Def thru bolt it and a wire rope safety/Anti theft is a must. Is this just a fun boat or a tender?

[@bobbuilder5362]

How is the boat holding up. Agree that the 'Branded' boats are ridiculous in price.

[@codemang3635]

So far, not a single issue. Yeah. Its a little bit shameless when others want 6k for a glorified pvc blimp. And that's WITHOUT a motor! You can get a pretty nice little boston whaler for that kind of money. But it won't be as light.

[@bobbuilder5362]

I'm in Australia, and here its closer to 10k Aussie 😂 total joke. Tohatsu 50 2 strokes are great motors too !@@codemang3635

@@codemang3635 What was the shipping cost? I'm down here in the UT so I'd expect my shipping would be about the same as yours. Thanks!

[@codemang3635]

It was around 500 across the ocean, another 500 from the freight forwarder. Came as two crates, one for motor, one for boat.

[@Prototheria]

@@codemang3635 That's not too bad. I'd probably source an engine here, so I'm guessing shipping would be a little less. Thanks for the answer!
