Top of motorwell
Top of motor: 25hp Yamaha 4 stroke mounted on 15 inch transom, cav plate 1/2 inch below bottom
Tight fit, just enough room for full swing left and right and will clear tipping up (great sigh of relief). Next time I would buy the motor first if I were doing this type of motor well.
Motor just clears, good shot of the splashwell kit.
Aft lifted clear of cradle, sheet rock pail insurance (not much but better than nothing)
Up she goes Not really flying of course, she was suspended fore and aft by come0-a-longs and cargo strap while the temporary cradle was demolished and pulled out from under her.
cradle being pulled clear
Trailer almost in
We had to build a ramp for the jack wheel so that the trailer would be level with the shop floor as it went in.
Bench seat, center lifts out for access to motor, looking for gas lifts for motorwell cover. Storage compartments are well ventilated.
hatches installed with four fasteners each and 5200. Holds like iron, so far.
All controls are inboard of frame C and take only 5 1/2 inches out of cabin. Cutouts are for panel (bottom) and ignition (top). Cutout on right of helm is for shifter.
Trunk cabin with hatches in place with modified hinges, portholes are next.
Brass hatch adjuster installed on cabin hatch
Half of the bifold cabin door mounted, nice wheel from Hamilton Marine installed
Sorry, somehow got two of there

Douglas Brooks, boat builder, with a Rushton dingy that he saved from a local barn. He will take off the lines and build a replica of the original and then donate it to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum.

This old beauty looks like it should have been in a Batman movie.
