Yes, you can convert from an inboard/outboard to an outboard. Assuming someone with survey and/or hull repair experience has inspected your transom and it is sound (very important) there are aftermarket setback brackets which will bolt to your transom without modification.Click to see full answer. Hereof, how much does it cost to repower a boat?“Depending on the size of the outboards, you could be spending $25,000 to $35,000 per motor. And if you’re putting it on an old boat, it’s not going to increase the value that much.Subsequently, question is, what is an offshore bracket? Actually a “true” offshore bracket moves the motor(s) back and moves them higher in relation to the bottom of the hull. The additional distance between the end of the hull surface and the props allows the props to run in clean, non-aerated water to get a better bite and provide better performance. Also to know is, what does a jack plate do for your boat? A Jackplate will lift your engine and position your propeller closer to the water line. This removes much of the lower unit from the water which reduces drag and increases the speed of your boat.What does it mean to repower a boat?Repowering is exactly what it sounds like – getting a new and better power source behind your boat. You can choose to rebuild your existing engine, or get a new one. Either way this cost-efficient option is a great alternative to buying a new boat or continuing expensive maintenance on an aging engine.
