Re: to pump or not
I agree with all above!!
My boat was a I/O when i got it and after 4 years of hell I removed the I/O and converted with a bracket and 175 Yamaha with a 26" shaft.
NO they don't sit to high, and its the best thing I ever did!!
But you are a OB all ready and for you to add a bracket and motor you will have to repair the transome and raise ot up, to make room for the bracket.
If your transom is good go with a Jack plate and add a 25" shaft.
Wellcraft went back and forth for a few years when thry had 20 and 25 transoms, I think th 20 are cut to low in the water
