Re: wanted

would be good to see how your outboard well turns out on your 563 look forward to see some photos when you are done.You would have to make sure that the motor sits low enough so you can get decent propulsion in heavy seas. Hope all goes well on this project.

The sails are good and the spiniker has never been used but i did spend $1000 on the trailer whole new brake set up and had to change tyres and rims also rego but the motor is like brand new with only 15 hours run time on it.This boat will be with me for a long time no plans on selling it soon.
