Ayuh,... Welcome Aboard,....

Generally speakin' jetboat transoms are to low, 'n not beefy enough to hang an outboard....

What motor can't you find, Where,..??

Great looking boat. Love those Aristocrats. I have 2 SleekCraft jet boats myself. There is a huge jet boat following here in the South. Judging by the pics you are in Alabama. While iBoats.com is great there is not the biggest jet boat crowd here. I would suggest signing up at http://forum.jetboatperformance.biz PerformanceBoats.com and TexasHotBoats.com You will find plenty of help on all three boards. If you have trouble getting registered at TexasHotBoats let me know and I will get it resolved. One more thing, If you want an outboard boat buy an outboard boat. You well have way too much invested in that boat if you try to convert it.
