NoBones-

Any recent pictures of your express in progress transformation??

It is winter in Maine and I need to live vicariously through you southern boys.

I would love to have something like that but it probably will end up with a pair of built merc 250 efi's or pro xb's on a large floatation bracket. A friend of mind builds 2.5 and 3.0 merc's and can easily get 300hp out of the 3 liters. Don't get me wrong a diesel or even a pair of Yamaha 300 4 strokes would be nice but I can do a pair of built merc efis for under 6k. Never know what will pop up on the market when the time comes tho.

One thing it will get is a nice tower and outriggers. My dad builds tops and towers for a living plus I can weld anodized aluminum myself so I can get as wild as I want there. Also if it dose get outboards it will leave a spot for some large fish boxes. I can taste the dolphin, wahoo and tuna now!

Yepper Frizz, that's the advantage of not having an engine cover, extra room for fish box or live well/fish box across the back!! Extra below deck storage is also nice without the engine(s) and I/O.
