[QUOTE="Scottinva, post: 187708, member: 4987"] First, if you buy a prop motor and want to swap back and forth between a jet and prop, you will need a way to raise the motor about 5 inches to run the jet. Next my UHMW was installed with screws only. I have heard of some using screws and glue and some glue only. Mine is screws only and hasn't leaked at all. You could do it yourself, but you will need to flip your huill over. I personally wouldn't want to risk it on a new hull if it was my first time. Not sure what an Alweld hull looks like, but if it is not a true flat bottom, you will have the ribs on the bottom to deal with which will add to the difficulty. The guys in PA charge about $2000 for an installation. It is also heavy, so make sure you get a big enough motor. Scott [/QUOTE]
