You better run and hide After a question like that........ Stringer replacement isn't hard just time consuming if its a full stringer and 1/4 stringers are a breeze and I thought you had a motor for this hull?

Oh I'm not great at fiberglass either but it really isn't that hard, just gotta get over it and do it. Aft least that's what I keep telling myself. As far as the motor I don't know what I want to do with it yet or what it's worth with the mounts. What parts did you rob from the small block? I still have a bunch of small/big block Chevy parts from my swap in my chevelle to the big block.

dont get me wrong, an outboard is a very fuel efficient and great running setup... but have you priced one out yet?  they're NOT cheap, not to mention a power trim setup so you can adjust it while running.

It would be cheaper just to get the parts for the small block and run it. It would be better on gas and parts are cheaper.

The Outboard will not be cheap.  A new 200hp setup is in the $14K range.  200hp on a v-bottom can be expected to run about 60mph or so.  You'll still need to fill in the hole in the bottom/transom from the pump, get new steering, redo the seats (since now you'll have a big empty space at the back), new steering setup, jack plate ..etc. 

Leave is as a jet....find a good used motor for a couple grand, then have a shop do the floors/stringers.  You should be able to get it up and running for less than $3500.
