That has been mentioned in a recent thread.
I think it would apply here as well.
The motor is a 1954 Lightwin.
It was Paul’s brothers motor and he has passed away.
He looked at some flat back canoes but what he found
were more than he could spend so he decided to make
one to continue to use the motor. Several attempts
using out riggers were made to make it more stable but
weren’t very successful when It occurred to him to just
use the other 3rd.. The short side makes it more stable
than a row boat. As for the old Lightwin, well it’s not done
yet just being an outboard motor.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
