Quick answer... Yes, you can.
Easiest way would be to hang a bracket on the stern and mount the outboard to it. Several people here have done that exact same conversion and have loved the results. As to whether it's worth it or not, that depends what you are looking for. Outboards drink more fuel, so from an economy standpoint not really. But no outboard ever sank a boat because of a hole in a bellows, and the cost of outdrive repairs is legendary. My personal opinion is yes, it's well worth it.
