    Misters

    This (and especially the last part) is spot on. If this is your reaction to people trying to help you because you have absolutely no idea what you're doing (and you seem to contradict yourself), perhaps the interwebs isn't for you. If you want someone to kiss your ass and tell you nice things...

    Part Identification

    That's exactly what it is. I'd be less worried about a zinc here and more concerned with where the hell all the blades went.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Not exactly, but it isn't far away. We'll go in just for fun, sometimes up to the Harbor like twice a season. I have no problem moseying right up to the Connie: Lower Craighill front range (the pictured lighthouse) I almost made the mistake of buying; thankfully I was massively outbid lol.

    Info needed on LARGE Boats / Research Vessels (100ft+)

    If the retired CG cutter ACUSHNET was still for sale (it might be, I dunno) that would be perfect. A little bigger than you want but well suited to that environment (she was homeported out of Ketch for 12 yrs before decomm).

    Problems with oversized boat motor

    That's double what you usually see for a jon that size, plus the extra weight of a much older outboard. Best case scenario she just sits ass low in the water, worst case scenario it rips the transom off. Basically, FAFO lol.

    Dual Console boats 22-24 feet in length

    I have a Key West DC but it's a 1900. The 239 will do nicely for what you want.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Went up next to her too (and the old JFK carrier at the old Philly navy yard but didn't get a close up pic of that, the carrier was more for my old lady to see a supercarrier up close & personal).

    Used Engines?

    eBay. I picked up a 2004 F150 with 299 hrs on it, came with fresh impeller and balancer done. Was a trade-in at a marina shop. They even offered the choice of leaving it as an 25" shaft or converting it to a 20" (I may have the only 20" '04 F150 lol).

    Does it have a HIN (Hull Identification Number)?

    Don’t do this please.

    I'd be amazed if that didn't get pulled over.

    Max rpm for an F150 is definitely not 5200:

    As I recall, the GS and the St Tropez use the same size vents. Expand your search to cover part outs of both models.

    Trailer Security

    Not much else you can do if the boat isn't sitting on the trailer. All the top stuff is fair game. You can put a locking lug(s) on the spare tire (if you have one) but that's pretty much it.
