[Public-List] Engine and Prop

[Michael Connolly]

Ryan,
I know James Baldwin and his work. The quality of what he does is FIRST RATE. He
NEVER begins a conversion until he has a confirmed buyer. Then he finds a boat
and does the conversion. If you attempt to do a conversion and do not do a top
shelf job, forget ever reselling your boat. Outboards in Alberg 30's is a NICHE
market.......................a VERY small niche.

Atomic 4's are simple, reliable, and "Falling off a log" easy to keep running. Except for Gord who is often dumbfounded by them...................sorry Gord I couldn't resist.

My opinion keep the inboard unless you desire the characteristics of what the outboard offers.  Speak at length with James Baldwin and learn what is involved and what resulting handling to expect afterwards.

I would not think that the conversion is a less expensive route that fixing what you already have.
