I believe these pics are the factory bracket (not mine) may be of some help to you.
I’ve seen a few conversions posted on boating sites and they all look very nice. Hope it all works out for you.

Is that the factory bracket or a really nice after market bracket
i was going to make mine out of stainless but this one in the picture appears to add boyancy
I know outboards are lighter it’s the physics of extending them back and changing the weight distribution
it will create a light bow !

Can’t promise you but I was told that boat is an original factory outboard 10m. I’ve only seen pics but it appears to be similar to the one in the advertising brochure, post #5, so I’m thinking it’s genuine.

If I stumble across some money I want to throw away, I’ll go and buy the boat and let you know how it runs! 🙂
(It’s for sale here in Thailand for about 46K USD)

I think the helm/dash is in the same position as the inboard versions……
The bow rail has 5 upright stanchions, same as the inboard. The cabin appears to be quite long from entry to forward bulkhead.

Factory spec sheet shows twin 105 gallon tanks, is that the same as your boat?

Added a couple of in water pics showing how she sits at rest and on tne plane, albeit engines trimmed in a bit and going slow.

Definitely check the transom and stringers for rot - very problematic
