Hello,
Just wanting to make my first post. I have an older (unsure of the year) Desoto. Its got what I believe to be a 1963 Johnson 5.5hp outboard, and a sigma trolling motor. The Johnson will turn over when I pull the rip cord but I don't have a gas tank to hook up to it yet (anyone wanna make a donation haha) so I'm not 100% sure it'll run. I do know it has had the single line conversion done. I do know that the sigma works, though I will have to replace the alligator clips because they are rusted pretty bad. I got a steal of a deal though haha.
Ill try to post up some pictures tomorrow of her. I know im going to try to make a half decent little bass boat out of her. I'm within 15 miles of about 6 different boat ramps so im hoping to get her done and running within a week or two.
Thanks for reading let me know if ya'll have any questions!
