motor well

This is a modification from the plans.

With the stern deck on, I added a small well for the motor on the port quarter.  I had one on a Herreshoff Goldeneye from Cape Cod Shipbuilding and loved that it put the motor right at hand, but did not interfere with normal operations.  I am to put a 2.3 or 2.5 longshaft motor on it.  I got the measurements off my 9.9 Johnson for a test fitting, so I am sure the smaller motor will not present issues.  Drain holes are oversized, and will be filled with epoxy putty then redrilled to size to help prevent water migration into the transom.  Varnish will be nice as well.







I purchased a 3.5 hp Tohatsu for it.  Fits good.
