Crestliner

[nicknick]

 

Hi guys, i picked up a crestliner sabre 19feet, it presently has a mercruiser mcm165 with an alpha one stern, both in very good shape.

I would like to convert my boat to an outboard 150-175hp and i would like to do so by installing an aluminum engine bracket ( Gill engine bracket) that i will probably make myself.

Im not 100% sure how to go about it but i do have a good idea of what i need to do.

Does anyone have any info or pictures of how to re-enforce the transom?

Im thinking of building up the transom with 1/4 inch aluminum plate and from there building up from the stringers about 3feet in, for extra strength i was also thinking of putting 3 feet of aluminum floor( instead of wood) and building that up higher on the transom and then bolting bottom and top part to the bracket.

I would love to get some input to see if im doing too little or too much or is there a better/stronger way to do it.

My name is Nick in from Montreal Canada you can write here or call me or send me your number i can call you
