She mighta had a few gallons of water in the hull, but at least ya stayed afloat! I'm putting a 1950s Sears 5 hp on my Grainger paddle boat this spring. Looks like it's gonna work!
Wow, this reminds me of when I was about 13, I went with a friend and about two others to do something much more stupid. They had found a wooden flat-bottomed boat that had a sloping front AND back. Actually, the slope was just a 45-degree step and then a vertical section at the top. It was only about the size of a sheet of plywood. We wheelbarrowed a 5-horse motor to the lake where the boat was and we all got in and tore around for a bit. We had the same problem with motor trim. In spite of all the comments here, you can't trim a motor vertical on a transom that's vertical. They just don't adjust that far. We had that boat practically standing on end with the tail end well below the "actual" water's surface, in the hole that starts the wake. And all that with no life jackets, cold springtime water, and me not being able to swim in those days. Dumb kids!

Looks like the weight of the outboard is interesting
