DSS Welding can make you an excellend pod. Pull the engine out yourself. Count on around $1500-2k depending on what you want. I've podded a few rigs, it's a great way to improve a reliable old fishing machine.

JimBob, You might wnat to make sure your transom will take the extra weight and torque involved with a pod...
Sometimes certain hulls will porpoise and ride way different.
Double Eagles have made a boat similar to what you want to do and it might be wise to go have a look at one, take measurements and get a spec sheet from Double Eagle on the factory model.
I'm not saying that you can't do it...just gotta make sure.

They only made the 18.5 Double Eagle with an outboard for one year.I wonder why....PM me Jimbob i'll tell you what I learned.Dan
Simply put Bob...and by no means do I mean any disrespect
Unless you have a love affair with the Eagle, ya might want to go a different route.
you can get a better hull with a bracket and probably a decent four stroke for not much more than what you'll invest in the Double Eagle.
Now below are just two examples of what the market in the south has to offer and believe me...nobody down there is firm on their price at the moment.
I would bet that if you were going to invest in a pod and a used 200 hp 4 stroke...you'd be into it for around $15000cdn...
Believe me, once you get started and the can is opened...the price of a refit keeps going.
just my 2 cents
