I wouldn't do it. The boats riveted so it wouldnt take long for it to start leaking because of what these motors can do.

Altho it would still be way more capable than the outboard, it's not going to perform as Jt should with that hull. Especially seeing that it's riveted, a pro drive would beat that hull to death. I think you'd be most satisfied with a boat made for a mud motor. Talk to some of the builders on here and sell that boat. Trust me I doubt you look back. There's alot of guys on here who could build you a nice hull for a real good price that would do everything you want and more, and that could handle and hold up to the abuse.

It'll work till you can do better, if it's not a tall transom I would build it up.

If you use it much it will be a trashed piece of shit when it's over though.
