Maine opened to nonresidents in 1986. I applied every year and finally drew in 2007, 21 years. Area 9, trophy bull area. Saw seven bulls the first day ended up taking a 56 inch bull at sunset. Well worth the wait.
I have 4 ES 1000's from the late 70's and early 80's. All work like new. Kevin at Big Jon has worked on them and I never ran them again. All new Scotty's on a different boat. Two of them have the Big Jon Aluminum Reels. Text or call me if interested. Jerry 518-281-8309.
Depth Raider parts, I believe it's the older 1000 Display with cables and Probe. Don't know anything about depth raiders, Four tite loc rod holders and older thermo troll probe. They were on a boat I purchased and don't need. I was told that everything worked when used two years ago. $ 140 plus shipping. I'm in Albany area, I'll be in Oswego on Saturday 19th. Call 518-281-8309 for info.
I'm looking at doing the same thing. I'm connecting a 9.9 Suzuki to a 262 inboard Penny. What kind of connection did you use for the rudder connection?
Thanks
I'm putting a kicker on my single screw inboard . Mount is in center of the transom with a hole threw the transom from the previous owner. When I measure down the gunnel threw the hole and to the motor how much more should I add to the length?

Three years ago I went from a 240 Thompson to a 262 Penny. What a difference! If you're looking for a Big O salmon only boat and you go smaller than 25' you'll spend a lot of days on the dock. I did with the 240, not now and the dog house on a IO is a PIA. If you're not going to trailer, get enough boat.
