What kind of outboard is on Pete M."s new Pocketship

Postby decurtis on Sun Oct 31, 2010 9:32 am

You may have read on this forum that my trolling motor experiment on my Pocketship is now over and I am looking for a small outboard instead for next spring. I couldn't help but notice that Pete M.'s new Pocketship appears to have an outboard with an extra long shaft that doesn't seem to require an outboard bracket. What is it? I have been looking at a Tohatsu 3.5HP with a 20 inch shaft but this shaft looks even longer. The photo resolution on Pete's boat pictures is too low to tell for sure but my guess is that it is a Tohatsu 6 HP Sail Pro with a 25 inch shaft. Am I right? If so what kind of motor bracket was used?

Thanks,
Dave
