Have been debating on what outrigger to put on the PA14. I have a 2.5 outboard motor therefore needed some support... decided to try the hobie pontoon... didn't realized it was 12'. Project almost done. Lots of modes to make everything fit.
This better work!!

Where and HOW you attatch your 2.5 will be the question. Tight Lines.

Only if they don't all sell out. Your craft will be more stable and versatile but slower. Would make a heck of a lobster craft. Tight Lines. Torque can tear things apart, be careful

I would've put the motor on the right side of your PA for stability.

It's actually on the right... picture shown on the left bc I haven't swapped the bracket around.
Can't wait to test it in the water .

I see. I was getting dyslexic trying to figure all that stuff. How much did that motor cost you? And cost to register?

Cool project...
I was thinking of buying a skiff soon. I would take the motor off and then install a mirage drive in the hull.
