Your ceiling joists are earning their keep. Looks good; sounds great.

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

that trolly lift system was a life saver. it would have been a struggle without it.

[@bellevue260]

Such a fun project, looks great, would love a simple boat like that!

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

Great work!!

I have the same hoist , I just used it last weekend to remove an old 200 Suzuki off a beat up old bow rider. Now I have to figure out what to do with the motor lol

[@kodiham7532]

Where did you order the motor from?

[@primaldna8]

Did you end up shimming the motor? I'm looking to use your same setup on a '68 13 Sport

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

yes i used 2 stainless steel washers on the top bolts nothing on the bottom bolts the angle works out that way and the insides of mounts on the motor are flush with the brackets

[@cutsilver3650]

Should’ve got a 15” shaft 25hp

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

no no no if you use a 15 shaft the telflex steering smashes into the curve of the transom. no good

[@cutsilver3650]

@@StoneBrokeAdventureThats why you use a standoff bracket for the cable

[@primaldna8]

@cutsilver3650 i'm curious why you recommend the 15'' 25hp. I'm repowering a '69 BW 13 and am on the fence on raising the transom.
