I REALLY like the i/o lines, but my boat desperately needed the floor raised, the scuppers were completely underwater. Keeping the i/0 and redoing the floor around the engine box woulda been a pita. Also want to shave alot of lbs of this boat, the current volvo is 650+lbs, an outboard will save over 200lbs in the back. If I can afford to do the floor w/ composites, along with all the glass Ive removed on the rear end, I hope it will sit a little better.
And I will be keeping the SC in the water, sometimes grounded at low tide
John, Im honored you made this a sticky. Maybe we can change the title to include all our S-B Seacraft projects.
Thanks for all the encouragement guys!
