Title: Outboard bracket
Post by: Woodstock on October 20, 2013, 04:21:08 PM

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a place that does outboard bracket installation/conversion? Thinking of converting my I/o to o/b. (yes I know I am crazy nts)

Thanks

There is much more to this than just bolting on a bracket and a motor. Cost, is it feasible, glasswork involved, will stringers have to be added or tied in to support the torque of the outboard,motor, rigging etc etc. Research it out real good before you decide.

definitely easier and usually cheaper to sell yours and get an OB boat than to convert.

No worries about the conversion either.
