It's been awhile since I have posted, but I have a 22 classic that was converted to an O/b motor by the previous owner. At one time I wanted to convert her back to an inboard but decided it was going to be too much work. Last weekend we were out in her and the pressure of the outboard bracket was too much for the transom and the top of the transom popped right out of place. Luckily we got her out of the water before anything really bad happened. Now we are going to get the transom replaced and beefed up for good measure.
Since we are going to have a blank slate to work with I wanted to get some feedback on engine and drive ideas that we could use. We would like to get a good 85+ mph out of the boat so any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Key
