    outboard on transom

    I am doing a in/outboard conversion , want to put the engines direct on the transom (picture) of a deep V hull no steps or anything , like in the old days , i know a bracket works better but it will make the whole thing to long and i dont like the looks.
    what can i expect in performance ?

    athe length would be no more then my para lift on a voyager. it will be ok but you will need to reenforce the transom. and add a couple knee braces w a thicker transom

    Last one I had like that was a 311 chris craft CC. Had 225 mercs right on trans with low splash well. 25'' motors and I wished many times it had 30'' ers to have a higher transom. Ran 22'' choppers and it went mid 50's.

    83 V-King, 96 Mariner, 200 hp ff block 2.5 w/a 28p choppa

    If you are going to convert a true I/O are you planning on "creating" a splashwell from scratch?

    I don't know. Hang it from a scale.

    I know the weight , thought you guy's know it also because if you are talking about ,,monster,, power to push it you must at least know about the weight .
    i can give you a list of 38's that came from the factory with outboards , but any way , i ask for ideas about reinforcement , the rest i know my self.Click image for larger version.

    Have at it then, it is not just weight my friend. Deadrise angle, beam, windscreen set up resisting wind, gas tank/s size and location etc etc. But I suspect you know all that lol

    indeed Greg , i know it all i have 2 38's , so dont need any advise from ,,experts,, what you got by the way ?
    must say ,,windscreen set up resisting wind,, is a new one for me , good point for a in/outboard conversion with about 800HP that will do a lot , thanks
    Any way thanks for talking Greg , but no further interest in this discussion , have a good one !
