Single BBC in my 26
 

As the pictures show, I have converted my 26 which was a twin SBC/Alpha boat to a single BBC/Bravo setup. I started this a few years ago and got involved with a few other things so it's just getting wrapped up now. Anxious to try it out come spring now that it's gotten to this point. I'll spend the winter re-doing my dash (stock style Wade), wiring, install interior and a few other little things here and there. It's been a lot of fun and most of the parts and advise I need were sourced right here on OSO - Thanks guys!!!

Wow! Looks very nicely done.

That looks fantastic. You will have to let me know how it runs for you and what hp your bbc is.

Looks Great Phil.

Come on spring !!!

Any pictures to show the modification (in the engine bay) from twins to sinlge ???

NOOOOO!!!.....Those Alpha boats are icons! Phil! How could you? That hurts man.....[ATTACH=CONFIG]533553[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]533554[/ATTACH] You can't find boats as great as these...


Seriously, though..... it looks great...just don't ever do it again....Hear that Wade? You either!

I wonder how your 34 would run with a really big single. Hmmmm.......:party-smiley-004:

Scippy,
Here are some additional photos starting with a couple of before pictures. With the engines removed, Mark from Tuff Marine filled the holes, removed the centre stinger, re-glassed the transom and cut the hole for the Bravo transom assembly. I raised the existing factory small stringers to accept the Gil mount.

Great work!! Looks awesome!!

BTW, video of it running would be nice.....hmmmmmmmmm??

With the glass work done the re-rigging began with holes drilled,bilge painted, pumps and wiring. Then the tabs, transom assembly and steering added, then finally the motor and exhaust.
