Amazing idea - looks better than the Yank custom built brackets and a lot cheaper as well.

That's a reasonable solution to a common problem.
I like it

me and a mate were looking for a project the other day and came across a 20ft cuddy that had had the bottom of the leg stolen, that idea would have solved the problem without shelling out for a new part..

As much as I like the inventive flair applied to solve the problem of the original engine or drive failing, the drive isn't designed to take all that weight, and I'd be constantly worried about the castings fracturing and the engine falling off.

well i thought ive come up with some strange ideas , but that is just pure brilliance.
no way can anyone say that the engine cannot be trimmed to perfection with a set up like that.
If the brackets are strong then it will last for years.
and to say its not meant to take weight is a bit silly, the outdrive can probably take a
normal 300hp inboard and the torque would be a lot more than that of the outboard.
I bet it can put up a real wicked rooster tail as well.

I'd imagine the Outboard would move left to right in a very strange arc when you turn the steering wheel?
