Default Outboards on Bullet, Racer, or TG?

Can any of the 80's 90's Cigarettes be modified for outboards? Specifically, interested in powering with Evinrude's iDock system. Or is there a joystick system for I/O (Mercury says their joystick is only available with a brand new boat).

Powerplay, oceanhawk, scarab 302, concept, renegade. All similar or same hulls with OBs on them already.

None of my business, but I would pursue the bullet that Wayne 272 posted in your other thread. At 40k you could go boating tomorrow on your budget as opposed to spending 100k turning an older bullet into an unsellable one-off OB conversion. (Or the more likely scenario being you spend 50k on a boat that ends up rotting in a field because the reality of the decision ultimately sets in)

I assume this is the one you've mentioned....
https://www.powerboatlistings.com/photographs/51877

The boat was originally mentioned in a thread when his asking price was 100k. Got laughed out of the water so he jumped in and said it was a big price, maybe someone will pay up but I'll get realistic when I'm more serious. I guess it's still the same owner. If you search, I think it's advertised on a couple of websites.

The conversion looks good but there's still small things need doing to personalize the boat.
