You'll need to speak to someone that's done the job to find out how long it took them. Remember that not all people work at the same speed.
As to parts, well, the gauntlet runs from eBay to OEM.. depending on price, availability, etc. Just do a search n the internet for what you need.. just as you found us.

Destroyer's got some great suggestions...get familiar w/the search function of this forum and look for I/O to OB w/bracket conversions....a couple of observations...think LIGHTWEIGHT on bracket and motor as the CC tends to squat w/this conversion....doesn't have the weight of the cuddy up front...so forget about a 4 stroke as they are heavy motors...several great 2 strokes are Merc EFIs and Optimax, Yamaha 2 strokers and of course Etecs...the motor should be a 25" shaft as a 20"er will have a tendancy to bury the motor when coming off plane

Study the Links Section here for boat parts and also search the web....lots of parts out there

This conversion is unquestionably gonna be more expensive to do than keeping and upgrading the I/O, so think, research and consider after it's all done...are you doing this to sell or use?...and once again-are you gonna do the work or hire it done...BIG difference in what you'll have in it right there...
Whatever route you take, keep us posted...pics when you can and we'll help you all we can...remember when asking a question...the more info you give, the better answer we can reply with...
