Much appreciated!!! Yes, I'll post here as it progresses.

Pinging an engineer friend to look at some material/strength numbers for me.... I'm ok with building part of it as way-overkill...

Yes, no need to pass 6000rpm. If it had to idle nice to make a bravo/etc shift gently it'd maybe give up say 40hp@6000 and 30 @5000.

I know I'll have to watch alignment, but if it's a double...

I'll very very rarely see rough water---(Haven't done LOTO in my own boat yet but plan to with this one maybe 1x/year) but agree that...

Yes, small block power. If I don't get into a second boat with twin power, I'll want to turn this one up to ~550hp or more. I'm making enough space with the extension box for BBC+TH400 from the...

Excellent information, and I agree, it's a big change and usually wouldn't be warranted. Some part of it is wanting to try things, and what most say they end up with after extension boxes seem to be...

I bought a 24' Mariah without drive/power. Single engine at this time...

I'll be running ~450hp with a TH400 set up as a two speed--- and am making an extension box to convert from bravo to TRS...
