Basically a center console version of the 228? A 222 bracket wannabe based on the 228.
Has anyone ever closed in the transom and added a bracket to a 222 or 226? I know this seems odd but for other brands seems like more than 1/2 of the rebuilds of older hulls are doing this. Other brands (like the Potter build Seacrafts) often need to reconsider the weight of the outboard being moved further back, added weight of bracket, height of floor for drainage, etc.
Given that the 222 and 226 share the base hull from a 228, I would think it would be somewhat easy from a readiness standpoint? ...Or am I assuming too much?
I'm curious if anyone has done this mod and if so, would love any details you could share (cost, issues, performance, regrets, etc).
