Re: Tsunami engine box
I started to type out a long description of what I would do, but it got too long and well... I didn't send it. I have a 1975 23' Tsunami that had twin i/o's and I converted it to (1) i/o. Did a lot of work on the "hole in the floor" - I shrunk it, and conversely, had to enlarge the back wall area. It's a lot of work to do it so it looks like it rolled out of the factory that way - that is what mine looks like.
Your situation is very simialar to the one I had, you just have more of it to do. I know how it can be done. It just depends on how much work you are willing to do. It's not expensive, just a heck of a lot of cutting, grinding, glassing and sanding/fairing.
PM me with your phone # and I will contact you.
PS: Putting a well thought-out hatch in the floor will work too, and might be a really good option if you want to use the area for a livewell or a perfect storage spot.
It still would need to be supported well. Either way, you will still have to deal with the back wall.
