Re: Almost a V-20
When 4-stroke outboards have been out there for a few more years and you can buy one for less than a million bucks, I intend to do the Macojoe conversion w/ a bracket. I just have a personal bias toward 4-stroke power.
Macojoe: What did you end up doing with the well where the motor was? You'd have to glass it over and make it into a livewell of something or else you'd break your ankle every time you were back there fighting a fish! What a great place to stash the catch! You could drain the swill with the transom plug when you got home too! I guess if you made a well there you would NOT want to have a tight seal on the lid. Thats where the bilge & the pump should be. Its the lowest spot in the boat. If you took on a wave you want all that water to go right in there.
I'm curious what you did w/ that spot. Great conversion by the way!!
