    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Ted, most of the armstrong brackets have a vertical drain. being aluminum, they simply weld a tapped boss in the aluminum, or if the material is thick enough, just tap the base material. I would take the garboard drain you show, recess it in the bottom of your keel on the extension. and use...

    exhaust manifold.

    is this a heat exchanged motor? Raw water cooled motor? without running fresh water, your exhaust temps are 900-1100. so any rubber in the exhaust system gets burned to a crisp and any water vapor in the exhaust manifold gets turned to steam

    which carb to upgrade/replace too

    you can test it, just put a bit of fuel in the bowl (at an angle), covering the check valves of the pump itself and actuate. if you havent run the boat in a few weeks, the fuel will evaporate out of the vent tubes. very common. also common for dirt daubers to build nests in the vent tubes if...

    Family of 5, 19ft or 21ft?

    Searay and bayliner are built to the same hull quality. Searay uses a bit less plastic than bayliner, but they are both budget boats. Searay is no longer the product of Connie Ray, and is the product of cost cutting measures by Brunswick
