Paul- Noticed the discrepancy between your wheel clearance and that on the boat laying here in Ketchikan. I repeat that the local boat is swinging a 22x13 wheel which would be cutting into the hull based on your clearance. For sure the two engines and gear ratio will provide different results, yet the clearance is a fixed number. Not disputing the numbers as it makes no mind to me except for noticing. He and I have similar installations resulting in similar size on the wheels. I throw a 22x16 wheel with a 3:1 Anyway- On with the conversions and the posting as to progress.
Cheers,
Al
