Default Is there enough room to remove the engines on a 322?

Can I pull the engines out of a 322 without removing the rear seat? Can the pulleys stay on also? The engine compartment in these things are a joke.

I am not familiar with the boat but usually if you have room to move the engine about two inches forward you should be able to get them out.

I got a deal on a pair of Card Shark motors this winter sshhh, don't tell no one.
Can you bring your saws-all over? I also got a deal on some steps so I need you to cut the holes so I can install them.

The 322 has a pretty big cabin but you pay the price for it in the engine room. I'm sure it has to be the smallest of any boat out there.

I doubt you can take them out without taking the seat out.

No way. Hell, you can barely see the motors without taking out the seat.

I know for a fact that it can be done. (but the back seat need to come out) I have a friend that has one(ES320), we pulled both engines 4-5 times trying to get the headers to fit.
It takes time and patients. (and an overhead crane helps)
