Inboard to outboard conversion?

[AFishin69]

My buddy is looking to buy this boat for real cheap, the inobard was taken out beacuse of cracked block but a frame was built to convert it to an outboard by some guy who builds boats. It stick out about 2 feet form the boat. I looked at it and it looks soild an it floats, can anyone see any problems with that or will hte boat ride hte same as if a inobard was in there i didn't see any problems? <br />Andrew

The boat was designed for an inboard, having an outboard on back might throw the handling characteristics off. How did he mount the bracket to the fiberglass transom?

th frame goes inside the hull as well on the back wall. I think to help disribute the wait. what ya think?
