Motor Well

This is an example of the Marblehead Gunning Dory with an outboard engine in the motor well.
~
I was talking to Mark Ryan of Ryan Marine the other day, and asked him to quote a price on an 8HP Honda Four Stroke.
~
It seems like you could get them around the web for less than $2K. Let's see what Mark comes back with.
~
I would still equip the Dory with Piandetosi Sliding Seat Rowing Rigs.... the motor would be used to get out to the fishing grounds quickly and trolling. No waterskiing or wake boarding.
~
You have to admit... it's going to be the coolest thing in Marblehead Harbor.

I have one 18', I have a 3hp evinrude it would not fit anything bigger. It's fun but it's a much better rower than a motor boat www.gunningdory.blogspot.com
