mitiempo will become famous soon enough
Here's the link to the thread about installing an outboard on an Irwin 32 which he eventually gave up on. http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-m...oard-not.htmlI know of no successful installations with one exception. In that case a well was built at the aft end of the cockpit with the outboard extending through the hull bottom. There is no other easy way to keep it in the water for close to proper use. Atom Voyages | Outboard motor well for a Taipan 28 sailboat Scroll down for info on the 35' boat.
By the time you modified the boat enough to make it work you would have destroyed the resale value as well.
