" Ok guys, here it goes,
As a few of you know, I have recently rescued a 1977 25.4' Chris craft catalina.
Im considering replacing the inboard with a bracket and an outboard, preferably a Honda 4 stroke 250HP.
I know this would take away the look of the old cat, but the manuverability of an outboard versus an inboard are enormous.
Where I do a lot of boating is in the new river of Ft lauderdale, surrounded by megayachts, that are worth more than my home.
The thought of manuvering a single screw inboard in that river are downright scary.
What Im wondering is, has any one seen the conversion done, do they know any pitfalls or advantages that I havnt stated, also do they know of any "how to" sites for this process, and lastly, does anyone know if the hull(transome )of the CC can handle this?
Thanks in advance,
Rob "
