I posted the boat on Houston's Craigslist for $2,500.00, including the outboard. I started getting calls immeadiately and ended up selling the boat is 3 days. I was very surprised how much attention it got and how many people wanted the boat. I still hate that I had to get rid of it.

Unfortunately, I need to part with the boat ASAP to eliminate slip payments. I will post it this week on Houston Craigslist for 2K or best offer and see what happens. If someone wants to contact me directly, I can be reached at 713-899-3491.

When I got the boat, an auxillary mount was installed on the transom. It is bent and can be straightened. I will look for info to determine its rating. Because of this, it leads me to believe the A4 is bad. However, it seems to be best to go through the engine and see what is required to get...

I have a 1971 E32 I brought from auction. The Atomic 4 is seized and I'm considering replacing with deisel. Until then and to start sailing, I'm considering using an auxillary engine, i.e outboard, for the summer. What size motor should I be looking for and any other thoughts towards...
