Base looks good, catcher is a bit ratty, so yes I will probably just take the motor and put it on a slasher or maybe just a standard pressed metal base. Starts and runs fine, just a pity that I pick these high arch ones that we all know the catchers are pretty fragile. I think I have at least 2 24inch slashers that need motors so big chance it will end up on one of those. Either way there is no urgency with those at least not till at least October
