Two years ago, I got this boat in exchange for some works I did for another guy's boat and wanted to do inboard to outboard conversion. Everything I learned from YouTube and a fiberglass guy to show me the ropes. This is how I got her like this.

Now the work begin, had to remove this Volvo penta motor and transom. I even had to use my 3/4 ton suburban to pull the transom bracket out

With a help of the fiberglass guy "Big John" he instructed me with the process

I didn't like the old Grady white decal so I opted for the new style, found it on eBay and ordered. Note to self, took a month for the decals to arrive because it was coming from Serbia

Time to make a custom outboard bracket with a help of a friend, using CNC and powder coating. Came out good View attachment 99002

Finally lined the bracket up and put non slip paint on deck

Bought 2001 225 HP Yamaha Saltwater Series II, always loved the OX66 so this one has 120 PSI all cylinders, decided to do something different, custom paint, custom decal, 5" extension and 4 blades prop

Now the motor is on the boat, install bait tank and off we went for test run
