I believe you will have to open up the hole a bit where the driveshaft goes thru. Then plug the old mounting holes up, and drill new mounting holes for the ssm transom. Swap tailstocks on your tranny's to the SSM tailstocks, add the SSM style mounting ears to your trannys too. Then remove your angle brackets off the stringers, plug those holes up. Once transom assemblies mounted in place, hang engine in place, install rear bolts thru ears, slide alignment bar in place to align engines, then drill new holes in stringer for the angle brackets.

Saw those that's a great deal, I plan to buy a whole boat so I get everything I need, then sell the rest and have free conversion... We will see..
Best deal I've found. I'm actually thinking about them...

Translation... Facebook Powerboat Swap Shop has a ton of great deals and you are missing out if you don't have it. lol
I'm not a FB fan either. It's just a reality we live in today.
Everything you need to do a # III conversion with transom assy's, tranny's and fresh drives $11,000.
