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.....

You missed out on 5 great extra feet! Just Kidding, enjoy that Saber!

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..
