i'm a bit nervous ... seeing the 50 i believe is the original motor that was on the boat..
only bad thing w/ 850 skeg little chewed up ...but thought about SS skeg protector ...need prop too.. i have a couple that will fit but all 19P ..curious on right pitch for the size of the boat?

may think it over... may wait till after this year ... or get a wild hair and do it ... but scared i will run into problems on vaca and ruin my time.
