Hey guys, I really missed my internet this weekend, Talked to Doug and saber and, Yes IO conv. is way out of the question. few big problems is the fuel tank runs into the engine comp. then boat is make for a OB so transom is 5 1/2 In THICK. also being made for OBS the strings are not made to support or place an IO in or around.
So YES this one will stay an OB, Talked to the owner nice guy. Just got some pics for it ill post time up, Boat will need some reriging for the controls, just because the steering is not in the center. And i know Mark (cat can do) Hes actually a family friend of my fathers. so i got to make some time to talk to mark before i waste to much time. As far as OB's thats all ive ever had on a boat. Just nothing sounds like a BBC..... |

As for converting a twin OB to an I/O a person better have their ---- together b/c it would be no easy task !! There is no way you could come out if you had to pay to have it done !! No way !! & in all reality even if you done all the labor , ect.. ect.. yourself it would be questionable if it was worth it.. I wasn't far from pulling the trigger on a 33 pp O/B that I was going to slice up when I bought the Saber.. I bought the Saber b/c it was the "easier" conversion..

Hi, Little, which Saber do you have ?

Cool, I was around the shop alot when that was being built. They were still out on Alpine Rd. then. Somebody said you got twin small blocks ? Hope she runs well for you sure is a nice boat.

Thanks !! Thats cool you got to see it being built..
No, blown single going in it... She almost ended up with twin sbc's, but in the end the big single worked out best for me.. |
