I am going to put the 19P to work on a 1968 18' with the original 225 Holman Moody Ford V-8 and the original 250 Volvo outdrive.
For my 270, I drilled and tapped the Prop Shaft and also made a new plate for the trim fin to gain clearance. What alterations did you have to do on yours?
I think I've got a later model 270 (84 date stamp), as the Prop Shaft already had a bolt securing the Prop Cone. All I had to do was make an exhaust cover plate out of SS. My outdrive helmet is supposed to be here on Saturday! Still got some buffing to do on one side of the boat, but we're almost ready to go!
