Hey there I have a 16ft canoe that Im wanting to trade for a out board boat motor. Searching for 20hp or bigger. The watercraft has a steering link for a Merc. But if you take place to have the connect for your motor, that should work also. I can deliver if local. I have actually just painted the bottom of the canoe, not the leading. Kindly I wish to see and hear the out board run. Thanks!
