Stretching my Sailboat Search budget on a Catalina 34 without an engine?
Is it feasible to put a 30HP outboard (20'' Shaft & approx 160lbs ) on the transom?
I will be staying within land on the Long Island Sound. Worried about bracket carrying weight of OB and long term effect on C34 boats structural integrity.
• Have you ever heard of someone putting an Outboard on a 34 ft sailboat?
• Or am I crazy????

Thank you,
