Thanks, wattaway. I am very intrigued by the gm 292 idea. What about the sterndrive? Any insight on compatibility? My understanding was Merc only mated it to a Mercruiser II. Do you know of requirements to to make it adaptable to more current drives like Alpha, Bravo, SEI? Simple as a transom plate and gimbal housing? Would it require a particular gear ratio? I'm very excited to learn more.
