Things are progressing nicely on my Pappaw's 1965 Rich Line. I've got the outside of it sealed and painted, going to seal, paint, rewire and put in Styrofoam next week. As I work through each step, my mind runs ahead to the next step. Which for me will be getting a motor for this 16 foot. I'm thinking I won't need anything above 20hp as it will mostly be me, the wife and two kids or just me and a buddy, or just me. I'm not looking to set any speed records and have no intentions of entering any tournaments. Just wanting to find some fishing spots and have fun. Believe me, a couple of times my dad had a bad motor on this thing and I am positive I do not want to paddle this thing a few miles back to the ramp again.
I'm sure there will be a lot of opinions on this which is what I'm hoping for. So if it were you, what would you get to move this boat up and down the river/lake?
