By messing about with a specific design you may well be putting peoples lives at risk if you then take it out to sea with 300hp strapped to the rear end.
Its a bit like owning a Ferrari and then deciding to cut the roof off because its a sunny day and you want a convertible.
If you want a Ring RIB go for one that was designed and built as a RIB.
