strick, im seriously think that im going to hang a 300 outboard on a floatation bracket... did some research on armstrong brackets and the are supposed to 400 +/- lbs. therefore 3/4 of the engine weight will be floating on the bracket... maybe im thinking down the wrong track? i would think the diesel option would be much heaveir... i currently have a 350 i/o with volvo 280 outdrive i belive the package weighs in the neighborhood of 1200 lbs. so 300 suzuki(604 lbs.) and armstrong bracket( approx. 80 lbs.) seems to be alot less than 1200 lbs... i understand center of gravity will change but am i missing something or am i making it sound better than it should... my .02... i can vouch for the great ride of these boats there has been a few times that i didnt think that i was going to make it home from offshore and the ole seacraft just chugged her way through the slop and found her way home, didnt even foam up my beer...

My question is how many of us have put on 2,000 hours on a boat, re-powered and kept the boat? IMO unless you are commercial or are planning on keeping the boat for ever, diesel still costs to much.
