  Hi Derrick;
Don't just think "transom". Here is a link to a very interesting site. about half way down this page you will find a picture of another option. http://www.capehorn.com/sections/remotorisation/remotoriserAng.htm
lots of other interesting stuff here too.
Also, the last time I was in Lunenburg I saw BONES, an A30, out in the harbour with an outboard sticking off the transom - not pretty but quick and easy. Not sure if that was permanent or temporary. Here is the link to their website. The site was built some time ago ( before outboard) so didn't see an pix but maybe the site will help you contact the owners. http://www.ninascottstoddart.com/bones.html

Cheers, Rod

Hello all,
I have entered into an agreement to purchase a 1966 A30 that was posted on this site. The boat was advertised as having an outboard motor on a bracket as the A4 had been pulled for rebuild and never replaced. I soon found out that the current owners (extremely helpful couple) do not use the outboard and never have. They sail it off of the dock. I hate the idea of drilling holes in the transom to add a motor bracket but in order to get it to where I need it, I have to have some type of engine (tides, currents, ships, and tight quarters) My question is does anyone use an outboard that is mounted on a bracket? I did manage to find one picture on the web of this. How difficult is this to install considering the angle of the transom, distance off of the water etc, and how difficult is this to use? In my mind this will only be a temporary solution as I would eventually like to find an older rebuildable diesel that I can install.
Thank you
Derrick
