Beautiful Job Jesse!!!!!!!!!!
Well done. I used to own of my own sewing machine and did a lot of my own upholstery. It's not an easy trade to learn and it takes lots of patience so congrats on your new skill.

Thanks guys. I'm always working on it. Does anybody have any advice on my outboard dilemma?

Aimel:
Hey Jesse,
I have converted mine to trips.  It looks pretty awesome.  I had a custome floatation bracket made for it and had the transome completely rebuilt and reinforced to hold triple 350 4cycle Mercs.  I've yet to get the Mercs.  Saving up the $$$.
I had to rebuild the transome due to the stock brackets had started to cut into the transome and the transome started to rot.  As far as needing to reinforce I would.  The average 250 outboard weighs 700-800 lbs plus the and extra bracket or new bracket is another 100-200 lbs.  then you have to figure the added stress of the extra power.
Good luck and have fun with your project.
