Author	Topic:   13 ft whaler w/cut transom.. I need an outboard !!!
Guilfordxc	posted 06-29-2002 08:25 PM ET (US)         Hi.... I have just restored a 1970's whaler with a cut transom. The boat turned out great ...my problem is finding a used outboard motor for this boat. As I understand it I can only use a short shaft outboard...I live in the northeast any suggestions on who might sell these ? It seems I have tried everywhere in CT. Thanks

Also, you can save money and weight by ordering these engines without electric start and without power trim and tilt. Or you might find one of them used somewhere.
