Default dont get angry

i can buy a classic 32 racing hull,thing is it has a 3 man stand up bolster and that is all the space there is it has no engines so i was thinking to convert it to outboards so i can use the engine room to make a bench and create some space,i want to use it for pleasure.
am i taking away the value of the boat this way,i was thinking if i ever want to sell it it can always converted back to inboards.

like to hear some opinions or do you know examples from people who did this before ?

example

Let's just take your example....Dry Martini....if you did that to that boat.......you probably better stay in SE Asia as you would not be safe in Europe or the USA.

It all depends on the boat. Race boats that no one ever heard of, no problem, famous or historic boats...problem!!!

Totally agree with both statements.

I once modified a very famous race boat many years ago and have not been forgiven yet.

Thanks Bud you and my son feels the same way about it !!!!

OK, sorry, I was young and foolish then and like most things, it seemed like a great idea at the time.

And before my son comments on here ( he is driving Dry Martini in that picture ) yes I agree, now I am just old and stupid.

But I still love classic boats that have a history to them.

Someone suggested that I do that with mine. My reply, if I wanted a pleasure boat I wouldn't have bought a race boat.
