[QUOTE="Shandogg, post: 333614, member: 13008"] Got a pretty good buy on an 83' Suzuki 9.9 again off of craigslist. Bought all the couplings for the gas tank and sat around perplexed for quite some time. Turns out I had an 87' gas tank and once again had to buy all new fittings, but it's working like a champ now. Also got a 40# thrust bow mount trolling motor off my dads buddy who said it was a lost cause. Did some trouble-shooting and bought a new foot control off E-bay and had a perfectly good troller for minimal Cost. If you look close at the pic you'll see I put a new Oak transom in. I plyed together 3 pieces of 1/4" oak and then put on 3 coats of fiberglass resin over the top. I think it should hold up nicely. Also Rhino-lined the interior and started a deck.
