Hi All
I have this fiberglass boat from the 70s. the look on it has grown on me and I would like to put it back into the water. i bought other boat just for the engine running perfect with electric trim. i want to transfer everything over to the white and blue boat.
my question with this is the transom
when the original 40hp Johnson motor was on it. I did the push down test and i see no flex in the transom. the 55 tohatsu motor requires 2 bolts going through the transom how do i do this, the transom does look like it requires minor repairs.
also what bolts do i need for the tohatsu motor and to seal the holes.
i am a total newbie when it comes to boats but not in mechanical.
the boat on the left is what i want to swap everything over from the right.
