Engine
I didn't get an outboard motor with this boat, but I figured it would be
nice to have one! After looking around for quite a while for an affordable
long shaft outboard I finally settled on an OMC SailMaster 4. Its a bit
scratched up, but it has compression and other than missing some screws from
the cover, it seems to be all there.
Of course, then I found a good deal on a SailMaster 6. The boat had a 6 hp
outboard on it before I got it and this particular 6 has a known history so I
bought the 6 and sold the 4.

The SailMaster 4 makes a brief appearance. |

Springtime testing of the Sailmaster 6. |
It's actually the first time I've run this.
It seems to run fine. (There is no prop on the engine for this test.)
I needed an engine stand so I built this one. Its designed to fold up for storage. |
