[QUOTE="enginerd, post: 419893, member: 21309"] I'm with everyone else and would hate to see this boat heavily modified to put in a jet drive, but that being said it is your boat and you should do with it as you want. I frequent several classic car forums and there's no shortage of disagreements over whether it's best to leave something original, restore it, or heavily modify (hot rod) it. I would say it's what the owner is most going to enjoy and use. I personally like to have a car (or boat) restored to like new. For that reason, I would never purchase a great original condition car, because I wouldn't enjoy it as much as a restored version and feel like I would be destroying something in restoring a nice original car. Just something to consider. That is one beautiful boat and to me it looks naked without a nice vintage outboard mounted on the transom. I hope you'll reconsider going with a jet drive, but ultimately it's your call. [/QUOTE]
