There is a 30 foot panther for sale down in the scarab owners threads, thought that 30 made a good ob cc.
Might do well as an ob sport deck, old trs boat so theres about 5 feet of cockpit space to gain. white hull and deck w/red stripes |
"When I converted my 35' Cigarette Awesome to a 28' outboard center console. the new transom was the center of my work" You made 7' of one of Dons creations disappear and are still alive to the tell the tale:eekdrop: We need more info on that project!

I'd say "Yes" to all three...... It's a viable project, it's a potential nightmare and no resale. Is that what's important? I read stories here everyday about people changing their boats, the dramas, cash they pour into the project and none if ever comes back. These projects are great for the owner who gets exactly what he wants rather than a compromise of what the previous owner wanted. As for speed, we all love classic boats, old Cigs, Scarab KV's and such, how fast did they go back in their heyday with 330's or even 420's? This obsession with speed is fun but who really wants to run a big (40') boat with a handful of people onboard at 80mph? I prefer cruising at 40-50, not getting beat up and having room onboard for a few friends. Anything can be converted to outboards, there's a couple already mentioned on this thread, plus a 43' magnum underway at the moment, a 48 Fountain in the classifieds, no reason a Baja couldn't be converted too. My 2 cents. RR |

If there were two of the same model boats that ran about the same speed, one with two outboards one with twin I/O I'd take the outboards and I'd pay a little more.
https://www.powerboatlistings.com/view/53270 Saw this boat for sale the other day, a sick old 35 Cig with 350 yamis, runs 64mph. If resale is a concern I'd try to stay in a range that allows for 65+mph with twin outboards, so 30-35ft about max depending on weight and power. |

There was a build thread in the Cigarette section on my 28' center console conversion from the 35'. Tried to show all the steps along the way.
