Author	Topic:   18 GTX o/b conversion
Curtis Johnson	posted 08-17-2003 10:30 PM ET (US)         Thinking about converting the GTX from I/O to O/B on a bracket. Mercruiser is shot, will cost about $2,000 to replace. Would have to obtain a bracket(W/D?) and make sure the transom is strong enough. Also, remove the fiberglass wall currently shielding the engine behind the rear seat. Just a thought, but wouldn't it make a great deckboat?Any thoughts guys?
