When I first purchased our 233 I installed a new transon and an aluminum bracket with a Mercury outboard. I was very worried how it would perform converted like this as Ive never seen a 233 formula converted before back then like that. After the first water test I was amazed and would not have the boat designed any other way. I replace the engine about every 8 years and its like getting a new boat each time . I'm sure we will see you this summer offshore !

Both are cuddies but the project will be a c/c with twin outboards on a bracket. Would like to talk with you about the rebuild, I've got a lot to learn. Let me know if that is possible and I will send you my phone #. Thanks
