I've been looking for a boat that would be a good candidate for an outboard conversion for the motor I have sitting in my garage. Motor is a 2006 Yamaha F250. Bought this boat last year with a BMW 220 hp inline 6 and BMW outdrive. I got the motor fired up and interior cleaned up in time for the rendezvous. Now that winter is here it's time to get started. Pulled the motor, drive, 100 gallon fuel tank and dash this last weekend. Fuel tank is coming out for cleaning and inspecting.

Your new shop?
The cruise liner QE2 moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel fuel that it burns.

Did you have to cut the floor to get the fuel tank out? Or one of the lucky ones with a later model that had floor access panels for the tank??Comment

This boat has 2 center hatches. I was surprised it fit between the door with about an 1/8" to spare.Originally posted by weigh2go View Post

Gotta love a new shop. If my wife would let me we’d have a giant pole barn with living quarters in the corner instead of a houseComment

I was the only one dumb enough to be out pressure washing in freezing temps today. Got the bilge and tank cleaned. Tank has some pitting where it rests on rubber 1" wide pads. Glad I removed it. Now the grinding and fiber glassing starts. Also got the bracket out of storage and tested fitment.

Nova,
look like we have the same boat, my is 1986.
when you say fiberglassing, are you only plugging the outdrive hole or you are adding more glass to the transom? I ask because I am in the same process and wondering what need to be done to my as well. thanksComment
