First off I don't expect anyone to remove a perfectly good motor and put a bracket!!

Yes I repowered with used as this is what I could afford!!

As with anyone they will do what is within there means.
I had a 6cyl that had many hours on it and needed all kinds of work as all I/O. And when I had my I/O I replaced with all new or rebuilt parts that everyone shoud do!! Those prices are real prices for parts I had bought and I also could not do all the work my self! And spent thousands keeping that I/O going.

So before I saw someone else going thur thousands trying to fix what they have to have nothing better then the same old I/O, I offered a better way!

IMO I made a huge mistake in switching to I/O in the first place!! But have now fixed that problem.
As for fuel I use no more now then when I had a 6 cyl I/O and there is no comparrsion to performance, The Yamaha out performs the I/O hands down!!

I just offer this option to all those with open minds!!
and sometimes just joking around.

But if you guys don't want to hear it then I will not say it anymore.

But for those who might want to do it or just want to no how it was done I will be more then happy to tell you all about it.

The rest of you guys can Choke on your I/O's :o
