I was dead set on doing this once too. I got a 25’ that was previously outboarded with a 200hp 2 stroke. P/O said it was a little bow high but not too bad. Made trip from Maui to Hawaii island across Alenuihaha (I’ll end you haha) channel. GPS proved was true.
Doing the numbers on balance as well as power and availability I decided to go back sterndrive.
The deck space with OB is amazing. I suspect the ride with my LS will be worth the cost of deck space.
