I'm looking into converting my Campion 215 Fishing Machine from an I/O to an outboard. The existing engine has very few hours on it (about 120, the boat was repowered a few years ago) and the Alpha 1 leg is new (replaced by insurance last year).
In looking around on the internet, I have found a few back-model Merc and Yamis in the 150-200HP range for a good price but I don't have a clue what is involved in making the conversion and any reputable shops that can do the work.
I like the layout of the boat so I'm interested in keepign it. The boat recently had new stringers and transom...I guess I should have thought about this conversion back then.
All replies are appreciated.
