I am just going to guess that this boat was originally an inboard boat with the engine hatch’s that it has? Typically the OB 368’s don’t have that.

You can read about it here:

368 Conversion to O/B

Cool story. It looked better back then versus how it looks now with the interior and wrap it has now.

So many people convert boats to OB. I wonder if someone would ever convert this OB boat to an I/O boat…

I have a 368 that I rigged with 450's a few years ago. I have been kicking around the idea of going to inboards.

That boat looks cool. I like the simplicity of paint. What year is it?

Have you talked to anyone about doing it?

2005 ex supercat light race boat.
i do all my own work so nobody i need to talk with.

Any idea on weight from race, to pleasure setup?

You in 5 years might be that someone.

Start by buying it and running it with outboards.

When you want to go faster in a few years, Mercury might offer bigger outboards. If not, you will have the perfect boat to convert to inboards.

The current setup weighs in just under 6500 lbs.
