In another post, someone was nice enough to ask for pictures of the improvements I have made to my new-to-me 1990 14.2.
Needing to launch from public ramps with limited room, a motor was essential. Here are a couple of shots of the Honda BF-2. I've been out twice now and it's a spectacular motor - moves the boat along very nicely & the bracket keeps it away from the traveler:
... one of the many great recommendations found here was the addition of a Boom Kicker to hold up the boom when the sail is down:
... and of course the one I hope to never use, the highly-recommended mast float:
... the bracket is made from 1/8" aluminum strap purchased at Lowe's. Being 22' in the air and out-of-sight, I opted to make it strong at the sacrifice of appearance.
I've tried several times to post this unsuccessfully... perhaps I exceeded some maximum message size. I have another modification that I'll post separately.
