Hi all, new to the forums, and new to boat owning.
My biggest concern at the moment is being able to lift the 9.5 HP motor on to the transom. My wife can't lift much, and while I am strong as an ox, I am vertically challenged, and not terribly mobile/flexible. Has anyone installed a davit or hoist on their boat to lift the motor?
2nd question: the winch handle for the keel: can I replace it, or remove it when under way/in storage, so I don't bang myself up against it whilst traversing the companionway?
3rd: dining area bunks! My boat has some modifications, and there are no seats/seatbacks...does anyone have good pics on their dining area/berth in the sitting and reclining configurations?
4th: anyone have schematics of the boat? I can't seem to find any online. I want to play with modifications on the computer before actually doing any on the boat.
I think that is it-- for now! Thanks everyone!
