Hi,
   (WARNING: Boating-related post!)

   Thinking of getting a Cheap & Nasty "tinny" (12ft rivited-aluminum
cartopper) instead of building the garvey (no indication of when there
will be room to build ANYTHING in the new workshop!).

   I want to power it with a 9.9hp 4-stroke. Sound like a good match? (It
has to be 4-stroke - my Lady refuses to ride in a boat spewing 2-stroke
smoke). Should it be long-shaft or short-shaft? If it "should" be short,
how bad would a long-shaft be? Lots of used 9.9hp Honda long-shafts in
the Buy'n'Sell.

"Valkyrie" Campion 18 - too big!
