    I bought a 1974 Reinell 24' boat. It has a hard top with fly-bridge. I tore the inside down to the foam and replaced. I made alterations to the inside layout and cockpit, raised the hardtop up about 14" as I am 6'4" tall and want to be able to stand up in the thing. My goal is to make it comfortable for fishing and camping with my family. Now to the question: I am converting it to an outboard and would really appreciate some detailed advice on how to build the transom bracket and how much beefing-up the transom needs. The bracket that I want to build will span the full width of the transom like a swim deck. I am thinking that I will need about a 250 h.p. size outboard.
    Thanks for any advice,
    Jaxon
