Coulde be, I was assuming it was an outboard, I know nothing about inboards and outdrives other than I wouldn't own one.

They make brackets that can attach to the stern of boats that had an inboard in order to convert it to an outboard.

As far as the steel to use to repair the tongue, use the same dimensions. I would guess it is 1/4 inch thick and either 4X4 or 4X6 inch. If the existing steel is strong enough, 3/8 or 1/2 inch bolts through plates on the sides should be enough but, I'm not there.

Smart move. I was just going to post "Do you have a lot of money? If not I'd pass on it no matter how good it sounds. You're going to get nickle and dimed to death.

There's a reason it's been sitting there."

Oh well, lots of decent deals out there as winter approaches and the boating season goes away. You just need to decide what your boating needs are and just make sure what you find meets them.

Yeah we just want something big enough to be able to go into parts of the sound, Crabbing/Ling fishing when season comes back around, but not so big we cant take it around to lakes and such.

You can buy a new reciever hitch and either bolt or weld it onto the old trailer.

The thought was there. Not really worried about it now.

I think that was probably a good move on your part.

I've learned the hard way, that whole Bring Out Another Thousand thing can be no joke. Probably the right call. Plus as an archer there's no time for anything else!!

Hey Smossy check out the Bassboat restoration stuff over on BBC there are posts on everything from how to lift it off the trailer to wiring to buffing out the gel coat. Lots of good stuff over there. You could really have a gem on your hands with some elbow grease.
