I own it now. Bought it two years ago not rigged - restored the wood last year. It is in the shop now getting rigged. I bought an early 80's 40 hp evenrude (just converted it to a short shaft). Gonna have the motor painted to look like its fron the late 50s. The guys think it will do 50+. Can't wait for spring!
