Default I/O to Outboard Conversion on a 33

Anyone ever do a conversion from I/O to outboards on a 33 PP CC? Any ideas on what it would cost not including the cost of the engines?

NKOSI,
How is it ging? Hope the new year is treating you well. It would be cheaper to buy the new 35 Latitude in the long run.

Why would you want to do that? 33 with I/O's is a sweet ride

Very interesting idea I have thought about that myself!! Just getting to the point big blocks are just to much money to run the cops hate the load noise and the gph is way better with outboards. I used to be dead set against the weedwackers now if I buy another boat thats what I'm getting!!!

Thanks High Life. I got a quote of 12k-14k including removal of the i/o's, bracket, fiberglass work and rigging. Adding steering and the outboards means its a pretty costly undertaking. Still giving it some thought.

32 Active, that's my motivation also. Plus you get a lot more room in the boat.

Allstar, all is well. What are you guys asking for that Latitude now? Gone down any?

Noksi,
Things are good with us as well. We are willing to listen to offers on the White boat. In addition, not sure if you are aware of it or not but we have a Black hull with Tan interior currently listed on Ebay. Check it our if you get a chance. I have attached the link. Send me a PM if I can be of further assistance.

nkosi,
you will gain some room in the stern but I don't think it will be a lot. The seat in the o/b powered boat seems just slightly smaller than the engine box in the i/o version, either one works as a seat.

Thanks sea rat. Good point but not sure if I would feel comfortable with passengers sitting on the engine box going 60 mph..the rear seat in o/b version is lower and more secure.
