Do you have stringers all the way up front? If not it would a really tuff I would think.

I THINK THAT IT IS A FULL STRINGER BOAT.
I HAVE TWO BLOWER MOTORS ONE IS FOR STERN
AND THE OTHER ONE IS READY TO GO FOR A V DRIVE.

The pad in the center and the lifting strakes may be a little different. I would contact Hallet to see if the bottom you have will work. If they say yes, it will still be tons of work. You will have to reinforce several areas of the bottom, then router into the hull to make insets for the cav plates. As much as I love v-drives, I don't know if I would tackle that one. A stern drive works very well on that hull.
