Ok. just completed my MBA so (maybe) I will have some time to finish this project. To remind some and to let others in, this is a 1983 18 classic. I was running 68mph with Volvo 280 drive and mild 350 chevy. After overheating from sucking in some sand, I rebuilt the motor, took out the drive, built a new transom and stringers and just installed a Bravo 1 at 16" x-dim (stock is 14.5).
Here are some pics, I'll post more as I get going. Yes, that is not the stock strength stringers. Also have Gil solid motor mount for the engine (still plan on dropping in a 502 one day).
