    Anyone built an outboard-powered Revolt?

    Just curious if its been done. I'd like to pick up a second Revolt hull and give it a try. My concern is the transom height - I'm worried that I'll be dragging tons of lower unit through the water.

    Any thoughts?

    For reference my K&B with a dubro mount is about 2.25" from the top of the mount pivot to centre line of prop shaft.
    If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

      Thank you for the reference measurement husky! Its not looking like the Revolt will be condusive to outboard power. To keep the same propshaft height the outboard will be too high to mount on the transom. Guess I'll keep my eyes open for one of these old Prather hulls. I've wanted one since I was a kid and these things were new!thumb-31.jpg

        I used to run one, first with an outboard then inboard, was better with an inboard. That goes back to the 80's!
