I just sold our flat bottom to a guy that has a long shaft 3hp. Would you guy's that have motors for your dirft boat's consider this to big enough? I mostly fish the PM, but there are times that I want to hit the BM, but don't feel like floating all the way down to high bridge. I understand that you don't need nothing huge, just something to get you moving back up river.

THe only time this would be used on the pm, is during the early salmon run, when I am down river throwing hardware, or maybe trying it out on the BM. He told me that he has $300 into it, and he would take $300 for it. Also said that he had it on a drift boat, but had to get rid of the boat, and kept the motor (just in case he got another drifter).

Thanks for any advice. Yeah, and I know that I will need MC #'s, my boat already has them, as the previous owner had a motor on it.
