I've recently acquired my second Spree. The spree was swapped with an aero 125 motor by the P.O. This thing was slapped together very poorly but I aim to fix that. The motor mount only had the bolts going through it without any type of bushings or spacers making for a ride that was Shamu-ish. What are my options on fixing this so that the motor mounts are solid?
Here are a couple photos for reference:

Re: Motor mount help
I should have posted a pic with the bolts next to the openings, but just so you know the bolts are about half the diameter as the openings on the motor mounts shown above.

Re: Motor mount help
If you have access to a welder you could take some washers that share the same diameter with the bolts and weld those onto the ends of your mount.
You might have to shave of a little on either side of the tubes before you weld them on to get back t the same over-all length but thats the simpliest fix i can think of

Re: Motor mount help
Haha! I was waiting for someone to say that. The P.O. welded that sweet piece together. Guess I cant complain because I've never welded in my life. At least I can tell * welds from good ones. I'm not too worried about it though.
