The add-a-battery kit is great. Simple solution that allows you to charge both batteries but have them isolated unless needed. My only thought about having the second battery in the cabin is you are going to have to run some long heavy gauge wiring up there and it won't be cheap. If you want...

Thanks guys. A lot of good ideas here. I still have some time as I need to fill what's back there now and then start hanging but I wanted to get a feel what I needed to do. Spare- You talking like these? http://www.bobsmachine.com/Products/transom_wedges.cfm -Svence

Does anyone have any hints/tips on mounting an outboard with new holes. Repowering an old McKee Craft and the Merc that came off is not the new style (had the external trim rams and weird bolt pattern). I have mounted numerous motors but this will be my first time drilling new holes. Is there a...

Gel Coat and filler shoved in the hole and wax paper pressed over it. Light sand after and it should blend right in. -Svence

Anyone have a set of side mount red plug controls laying around? Need to have tilt trim. Let me know. Thanks! -Svence

Don't have any pics right now but this is the model. http://www.marathonboat.com/oneida.asp It's a 95, needs a new floor in the bow and has a dent on the port bow. Other than that it looks like a solid setup. Just beat from sitting for a couple of years. If you're interested let me know...

Well the deal is done. Just happened to find a freshwater 95 50 Johnson with low hours. Picked it up on a 16' Grumman and trailer for only $800. I wasn't really keen on buying another boat and trailer but he said it was a package deal and I am sure I can recoup some of the money on the...

Just so I can keep my reality in check, what are you guys thinking I should be spending (ballpark obviously) on something like this? I was trying to keep it under a grand but am I being too conservative or if I am patient that shouldn't be a problem? -Svence

Also, anyone know the difference between the Yamaha Pro 50 and the regular 50? -Svence

So it looks like I really can't go wrong with any of them. I am glad I have been looking in the right direction. Now I just need to find a clean one and snatch it up. I have seen a couple 70 OMC's floating around but they are heavy SOB's. Most are at least 250 pounds where as the 50's I am...

What do you mean "older" and "newer" 4 cylinder mercs? I thought they were all pretty much the same throughout the years. -Svence

Been looking at a ton of 50 HP 2 strokes for a 14' Mckee I am redoing and was hoping to pick everyone's brains. I have been looking for a late 80's on up 50 Johnson/Evinrude 2 cylinder mainly because I have had good luck with OMC and haven't heard anything really negative about them (once VRO...

Holy crap. This has to be the most derailed thread in the history of the internet. Definitely not a bad derailment by any means, just made me chuckle. :clap: Now back to the discussion.... -Svence

Spare- Don't want to derail, but had couple Q's on the duraback (we can start a new thread if you want). Anyway, how's it holding up? I know you wanted to just do the inside once and not have to worry about it but never heard how tough the stuff really was. Would you do it again? And how...

http://www.thehulltruth.com/boats-sale-wanted/382888-testing-waters-custom-20-center-console.html $18K?!?!?!?! Looks like a slick rebuild though.

Any idea the condition of the motor? -Svence

Hammer- If you go take a look at it do you mind scoping out the mariner? If it's in good condition I might be interested. -Svence

You guys are great. Just shot Rob an IM, I'll let you know what happens. Thanks. -Svence

Just found a bench seat for my mckee craft, been looking for a while and it just popped up. Guy says it's in decent shape but not sure it's worth the drive or not, anyone near by that could take a quick look for me? -Svence

Sweet, I'll take a look before I start tearing into it. Thanks. -Svence
