[QUOTE="kflavin, post: 510558, member: 35139"] Just got an 85 PolarKraft. Its had a hard life... [ATTACH type="full"]118921[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]118922[/ATTACH] Presently it has a 1998 Honda BF30A on it that is 4" too long, even with the jack plate. The engine has a broken skeg. [ATTACH type="full"]118923[/ATTACH] The transom wood is probably okish but the transom brackets are broken and the top of the transom is split as well. [ATTACH type="full"]118924[/ATTACH] The front pull bracket is coming loose. [ATTACH type="full"]118925[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]118926[/ATTACH] That's primarily because the wood in the nose is rotted pretty good. [ATTACH type="full"]118927[/ATTACH] But the cool thing about this boat is that it is a modified vee, has a wide beam and its somehow rated for 5 people and 45 Hp. And thats odd because that rating is 50% larger than all other 1451s in the PolarKraft line up. Any one else here have a CGS1451 with a coast guard rating of 45 hp? Or any CGS1451s at all? It think I'm going to repair and repower this little boat since it is such an unusual combo or rated power and draft. Thoughs? Comments? Kevin [/QUOTE]
