Same Boat, New Motor

[Tin-Can]

Picked up my re-motored boat from Fred's Marine today. That new 25 hp Merc sure does look lots bigger than the 15 hp I've had on the boat since I bought in new in 2007.  Now I have a power trim & tilt, ought to eliminate the need to carry bags of ballast sand in the bow to keep the bow down where I can see over it when it's just me in the boat. Longer shaft dictated the addition of a transom saver, and the rearanging of my storage shed so the boat would fit in with the motor aimed slightly back instead vertical. Hope to get it out on  the water for a test run this weekend.
