My 69 Starcraft says it is rated for a 40hp motor, so I guess yours would be too. I would still like to ask if you could take a few pictures of your console from different angles if you would as I can't find any available and would like to build the one missing in my boat back. Thanks, and...

I have that same boat and if you are going to dispose of it, I would like to discuss getting the pilots console from you, if not i would very much like pictures of it from different angles, as I would like to replace the one missing from mine, and will build it if I have to. I like that yours...
