| Can't say what marina prices are on Scugog but I can say that boat traffic is WAY DOWN. Even the fishermen are cutting back. |

| Thanks, you are correct, that would likely fit the 1250 based on a lengthy thread at FB Inline 6. School's still out on how far I want to go with this project. SS motor issues are dominating this build. Not quite where I wanted to be with this one but thanks for your input. At least it's given me so... |

| Thanks for the posts Steve, good info there. Found a 1969 125 red stripe motor at the right price... thanks Craig! I'll contact Jerry to see if he has a short mid assembly. Like to stay OEM but will cut it if needed. Think it'll be a while before one can cross the border for a quick pick up but next... |

Thanks Greg,
Good advice. I'm not pressuring myself with specific completion dates but I'd rather get motor choice sorted earlier than later. If you have other contacts I'd appreciate them. PM or text.

Thanks Guys,
Had hoped to do something with stock parts but you're right, cutting down the mid of choice will likely be in the future.
I see Calhoun Marine has done Yamaha 90's Merc 90's but no OMC info. A V4 would be nice on this hull, fairly light and torquey. Guess I'll follow up with them. |

65 Carlson Contender... Cool not fast.
Ignore the crap paint, it's a total strip and refurb.
Had one of these 30 years ago that I had to let go cause I need the shop space.

| Hi Guys, I picked up a project hull that absolutely requires a short shaft motor. 16" transom, 450lb hull. Given that its an older hull my first thoughts were to go with an inline 6 mercury but short shaft availability in Canada is nil. I could get by with a mid and steering link as other brack... |

I know them... I bought the hull in FB pics from them.
Weren't they running SST60's originally? |
