Sleeping for four is huge!
Everyone wants to ride along but then what you do at end of day?
Either take them back to home port or they find a hotel if there is one where you’re at.
so many of the best trips/overnights are unplanned too.
Air and AC, I’ll stop reading now 😉
I was really surprised to see how many people had positive comments about converting to outboards. I thought I was the only one that could see the value in it. I have converted several as a hobby and each one gave me the satisfaction of making the boat the way I wanted. I am looking for one more project before I finish my bucket list. After looking at some of the projects I want to do more to my cigarette bullet. I have just ordered cushions for the cabin to make it a four sleeper in comfort. I saved room under the rear seat at the transom for additional storage but now thinking of putting my 2000 watt Honda generator in there and installing air conditioning. There is plenty of circulation and room. It seems once you start you can't stop. I love sleeping out and we often bring several people with us that put up tents. The extended cockpit gives plenty of room. Love that sonic, post more pictures of your conversions.

Good stuff in this thread!
All I asked for was an OB Tech section a few years ago, some agreed, but a lot of haters too. Go to speekwake, weed wackers, fish boat motors they said, LOL! 😎 We need an Outboard section in Technical

So how about it IB, can we get an O/B section now?
Griff, Cash, anybody?
