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.

Re: need ideas....
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.

Re: need ideas....
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.
