Ah... found the problem. Had the upload settings on Photobucket set for "small"
Just a few here from photobucket.
This one shows how long our mooring field is on the River.
and this is the boat of course. No the outboard bracket is too high to be used. Dunno what the PO was thinking, lest it was a Large and very very long shaft OB.
I love your boat. My office supply delivery guy just sold one of those. He lives on houseboat and said he and GF never used the thing. Shame. I would have attempted to buy it.
Newhaul I just don't know.. The mount does have real deep marks from an outboard being clamped on. he did tell me he replaced the diesel with the same from another boat when it was in New England where he got her. I know there are some very long shaft outboards out there too,but it's like 30" to the waterline with the mount in the down position. I also know he never intended to sail her.
Johnson and evinrude used to make a 20 inch shaft extension for their small outboards that may have been what he had. unless you intend on using it for some purpose i would remove it and plug the holes would improve the appearance of the boat overall. not that it needs it.
Sure, she's sellable. I'm thinking about live aboard in a few years. Feeling out my sailing skills at this time. I definitely have Sailboat on the Brain pretty much all my waking hours. Just secured a new marina that allows live aboards, 15 minutes from the house, and gave my 30-day notice on the current marina, which is very nice, but a drive that I can do without.
Very nice boat Denise, I was out one like yours this summer and loved it.
