Thanks for all the responses.

How big of a project is it to do a bracket repower job?

What would be a good bracket/motor combination to keep an eye out for?

You want a flotation bracket and anything from a 140 to 175 will be fine!

I did mine as a few others here, I use too run a 175 with great results! My 23 Sea Ox is also a old sea drive bracket conversion!

One thing we've talked about here when converting to bracket/outboard is be sure to use a 25" shaft motor as a short-shaft has a tendency to flood the motor when trottling back to a stop...

Another consideration is motor weight and these days the E-Tech has 'em all beat in the power-to-weight ratio department...an Armstrong aluminum flotation bracket and an E-Tec 175-200 would be my choice
