You dont need to go big to have fun. Agree about the seat . Have you thought about leaving the cool box and just take the seat off ?

Whats going to push it along?

Or just leave the cooler ? If the bench is fiitted over it wont it be a bugger to get the lid off ?

Which engine is newer ? I had an 8 Johnson - great little thing - not high tech but worked well for me .

the johnson is 1983 and runs lovely I think its the one I will keep I also like the idea of being able to start it with should the pull start rope snap, your right I will just get some padding on the lid of the cooler,I was out today and I felt a bit high up on that seat, I should be able to get some padding of fleebay cheap
