Hi, I have just purchased a Bonito 20 with a 1.6l omc seadrive, The motor is shot but the seadrive bracket works fine. Does anyone have any experience with changing out the motor for a bigger one using the existing bracket ( the 1.6l is only rated around 110hp). There is a bit of info on the net but would prefer personal experience. This is the cheapest option. The alternative is to remove the bracket and put on a pod. I can get one built out of ali for $2500- $3000 but would prefer a fibreglass one glassed onto the hull so it doesnt look like a bolt on. I was thinking something like this one following the hull shape but only half width, again any personal experience would be appreciated as there is lots of conflicting info on the web.. Also do you know of anyone who could built it for around the same price as an ali one or do they cost heaps more. Pm me if you prefer to answer that way. Cheers
