I have the chance to buy an vintage early 80's 27ft boat, at a very good price. However, this boat was commissioned with out an internal engine. It has brackets on the stern for an outboard but an empty engine compartment.
I've been thinking about putting a power plant in her. However, she has no shaft, no stuffing box, nada.
Has anyone put in a shaft and prop into a boat like this? Does this even seem like a good idea in this situation? Does it even make sense to think about this idea?
At this point, I'm just pondeing, but I don't have any experience with this kind of task.
