The present A-4 is never again going to be fixed by me so this Ariel either gets abandoned or powered with an electric start 9.9 Honda LS that I have sitting here. The stern seems pretty sturdy and I can cut a big piece of 3/4 plywood for inside the lazarette to spread the loading.

Has anyone ever done it to an inboard Ariel?

Think the stern will stand up to it? I am guessing but the Honda seems to weight most of 100 lbs.

There is presently a heavy Group 29 battery in the lazarette which could be relocated forward to offset some of the boat's balance.

Opinions?
