Anyone know of any projects for sale?

Thank for the help and advice.

Click on the CSC Home link in lower right corner and then look in the Literature section for the Potter era production numbers.

That's way more power than you need in a 20; most had the 140 hp I-4 Mercruiser and would run about 40 mph with that. The extra weight would be forward of the transom so CG shift would probably less than with an OB on a bracket, but I think the exhaust manifolds would be a very tight fit under the engine box. I think Strick's Sceptre 20 had a V-8 in it; he might have some pics of that installation before he yanked the engine. It was a tight fit as I remember!
