Hey Ken,
I think that merc has way to much power for you.I think you should start off with my 57 7.5 Scott Atwater.

RE: AMPS hulls & outboards pics& tips
Anyone ever do a tutorial or FAQ on taking apart or repairing the AMPS lower legs? I have 2 of them that I could use a little help with. I have them apart as far as I can go.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

RE: AMPS hulls & outboards pics& tips
You have bad luck with UPS too.I received two hulls shipped through UPS from Florida and both had damage,but since they were both old hulls that aren't made anymore I decided to not turn them in for a refund and just fix them.After that I always ask how a seller is shipping and if he says UPS, I say to them that I don't want UPS and I ask them for the size and weight of the box and do a return shippment label with Fedex.I've never had one that I shipped or have had shipped to me by Fedex that was damaged.I know others have had damage,but seems less than UPS.

So as it goes, I bought a Starcraft CPS20 AMPS boat off eBay a couple of months ago without seats. Thanks to Special K lending me his set of seats I now have a mold capable of producing seats.
I have made a few improvements on the original design along the way.
1.) the seats are now lighter than the original
2.) I have eliminated the seam down the middle and added carpet texture for the floor
3.) The seats now FLOAT!
The seats are constructed with 6 oz of fiberglass mat on the bottom and rigid expanding foam on the upper. They can be painted or left in the original white color.
I have also made replacement wings made out of white plastic
