[QUOTE="Stryker777, post: 84606, member: 1439"] Good question about the weight. Mine is 675 lbs limit and 18hp. Yours has the extra support on the seats and the ones I saw with those were 725 lbs. The hp is anywhere from 15-25 depending on how your transom is braced. If it has the aluminum sheet as a brace (at the bottom), it is probably 18. If you have a knee brace (much more rigid), it is probably 25. I am adding a better knee brace and frame supports to the transom to beef it up. I don't need anything over 15hp, but would like to have the ability to use a little bigger of an engine if I do find the need. I will be sanding off the bottom the rest of the way tomorrow. Hope it goes well. I am going to bare metal with a cup brush. It is slow, but effective. I am guessing another 6 hours tomorrow and I will be ready to weld, rivet, and start my framing. I am going to do the deck framing first so any rivets I use will be covered when I paint. I would hate to have to touch up later. After that, I will paint, then add the plywood and carpet. Have a good one! [/QUOTE]
