1960's model Alim Marine V20. Knock the windsheild off. Bolt on a half tower. Trash the I/O and hang a balanced and blueprinted 140 looper with a 30" shaft on a bracket (does that even exist?). Use the old engine bay for extended fuel capacity or maybe a livewell/bait jacuzzi. If not I could spend some money on a Yanmar diesel I/O set up. Mount a fighting chair in the cockpit. Paint the hullsides black, topsides, deck, transom, bracket, and outboard white, and white again below the bootstripe. Small amounts of tasteful teak trim. A big ol' bow pulpit fit for a harpooner with a big ol' rail. All stainless hardware. Maybe after all that I'll figure out how to post pics and let ya'll see it!
