Ouestions.....I keep pondering this over and over in my head and need some direction etc......
-Should I keep plugging away with the sixes for now and get t/t rectified or sell motors outdrives (if any interest)to go towards the purchase of a D. Herman bracket and run a single outboard...?
-Also, any good suppliers for parts (down the road) for the 165 250 ci and also merc. (pre-alpha 165)outdrives?
Thanks in advance,

i'll throw another option into the mix...
those old engines/drives why not repower with a single stern drive ?
pull the old,fabricate a replacement engine bed,replace transom,install a new single set up - it's gonna be considerible cheaper than going with outboard and a bracket...
going with new,everything's included,drive,transom plate,hydraulics-tilt n trim,and engine...
