[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 346889, member: 10"] I bet you can do it very easily - but why? Here is the only down side - since your FrankenBoat will be using lots of non-marine parts rust is gonna be an issue - you build it, put it in the water and in a few years you have a huge solid chunk of rusty steel that is now attacking your Aluminum boat. But I would give it a try any way - like the diesel idea - is that an air cooled diesel motor? Oh yeah - instead of a true inboard look at boat yards for an I/O until that fits and voila - you have all your tranny issues resolved. [/QUOTE]
