What is the Double Eagle water level after pod conversion

[tyee604]

Anybody know what to expect, water level wise and handling wise after
A 17' 6" Double Eagle I/O conversion to Pod with 115 Hp outboard and 9.9 hp kicker
If you have photo too show the difference, that would be great
Thanks

In a perfect world, you would have a naval architect measure weight proportions as it currently stands, then apply the changes in weight distribution with the new and exact pod style and outboards. Then you could have a decent shot knowing what mods to ballast, etc maybe required to get the balance you're after. This applies for when the vessel is at rest; how it preforms at speed is easier to manage as you can toy with trimtabs, etc and add a jack plate or adjust the height of the outboard to get the performance you are after.

Sounds like a cool project and there must be tons of these conversions out there in sfbc land, I am sure there will be lots of valuable input. Cheers
