Has been operated on fresh water, rivers and lakes, very well for 3 or more seasons. The interchangeability of major parts may have led me to be overly enthusiastic in reassembling a bodgered motor with parts from many models. Will get pics of complete motor and boat here soon. If you all promise not to laugh at either the boat or the motor.

It can't be as bad as one or two of my franken-motors! :oops:

As long as you're happy with how it runs, nothing else matters.

Not really a franken gull, it's been upgraded to almost model 75 level, just the ignition left to do.
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

If it's working, NO,
Don't fix things, unless broken!

it's not broken yet. Do I have to break it before fixing it? If it ain't fixed, break it?
