I've started working on a project to convert an 18 ft. Offshore Blank Starcraft which originally had a 140 OMC inboard to an outboard. the wood was rotten and had to be replaced anyway. I sold the inboard motor for what i payed for the whole boat so i'm back at 0 cost.<br />my question is if anyone has done this type of conversion before and what advice they can give regarding transom reinforcement, proper transom height,transom angle,material etc. I would like to leave the original outer sheathing of the transom intact except for cutting down the centre if possible so as not to disturb the side rivets as the boat has no leaks an i'd like to keep it that way.
