Nice job. I like the updated motor mount. We have a fleet of these things that we run up north. Every so often, you can find them for $35 at tower scratch and dent. The self-righting feature is the bomb!

The only problem we had when we upgraded the power was the motor coupler. It broke into pcs...every time! We had to machine solid aluminum couplers. We also taped the hatches all around in addition to the water proof discs. Have fun!!!

I like the motor mount too. I built 4 of these a couple years ago. Great little boat but not exciting in stock form. I chose the motor to fit the stock cooling coil and motor mount. I like your idea on the motor mount though. Fun little boat that everyone young and old will enjoy.
