No I am going back to a fresh water cooled I/O, I can't justify cutting that transom up for an outboard, IMO the lines are much better and it is a safer boat as an I/O it will be trailered so no worries |

Which engine / drive? V6/Alpha?
Hmmm, marinized Ford SHO (Yamaha) engine might be nice  |

Nope just a 4cyl Mercruiser FWC hydraulic steering 140 hp they are already stern heavy, the tank will go in the floor and moved forward to combat some of the stern weight. I hope to get 3-4 mpg out of it, economy is key, if the little diesels weren't 13k I would opt for one of them |

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!

Krispy - I didn't make a sticky but I would have anyway  - I look forward to see what you and VF do on your boats
A little birdy mentioned something to me about some Penske board last night. When he knows more and gets some more detail I'll let you know as far as a floor / transom composite.
Does it need a transom? I'm guessing yes because of the age but maybe it had been done recently... |

I think (and I am certainly not an expert) that if you focus on solving why the scuppers were below the water, then you will not have to raise the deck. What comes to my mind is wet/waterloged wood & foam.
Also, you don't want to change the way the orginal weight was distributed tooooo much, as it could significantly alter the ride of the boat.
Just some thoughts, I still think you are doing great work, and I am excited to watch the progress. I am sort of living vicariously through you, as I bailed on a project this year due to lack of time (new baby, etc...) and wimped out and bought a new boat.
