Default Re: convert ib to ib/ob w/ jackshaft

I'm with deepsushi on this one, the tunnel is too deep the drive would be to high if you could do it at all, and if you could, it probably would not run in "clean" water. I remember seeing on jackshafted boat on the BT a year or so ago it was claimed that it was Bill Potters "show Boat" that hit all the boat shows. It was a 23' CC jackshaft diesel. It sounds like a CC I/O is a good starting point and with a lot of effort you could put an engine under the console. I think that the 23 inboard [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] is one of the cleanest looking boats around, nice lines nothing on the back. Good luck [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I'm late the this party but the 23' IB is a fine running boat and it would be a real crime to bastardize a Potter 23 IB with a jackshaft/outdrive set up...

Thanks for replies,
Great points made by all posters...Conversion not a practical option. It was just a thought.
Please note that I am still in the hunt to purchase a SeaCraft 23' classic. I'll just focus on locating an older i/o or ob and just stick with it's original power set-up and upgrade from there.
Thanks again!
