Posted By: Rachel Date: 10/9/07 3:49p.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: SF30 MK1 for Sale $10k (Sean Gilman) Sean, Pretty boat I'm not a potential buyer, but I would love to see more about how the Instantilt motor well works. I see that the cutout looks like a fore-and-aft oriented looong rectangle.... Am I understanding correctly that the whole motor can tilt up into the lazarette while you're underway, and then be deployed at whim? Wow, that would be cool. If you have any photos of the inside of the well, or how that works, I bet more seafarers than just me would really like to see them. I'm really curious. Also, although I'm sure you probably just didn't know, Phil (who graciously provides us with this site) asks that we post any boats for sale to the Classifieds section and not here (not a boat you just happen to see, like the ones mentioned earlier, but if a person is selling their own boat). Welcome to the forum, too Rachel

Nah- easy on someone elses. I put a motor well into a Neptune 24 -- Charlie Jones, Meridian 25 Tehani, Magnolia Beach, Texas -- 10/21/07 10:57a.m.
