I'm hoping to get bare 22' SISU inboard hull soon and want to find a used motor and install it within the next three months (just weekends and some evenings), having had zero experience with inboards, how do I educate myself ASAP, find a motor and ALL needed parts...transmission, cooling, prop, stuffing box (what the hell is a stuffing box anyway, sounds like something you'd get sent to the principals office for is you said it in school) and install? Somewhat mechanically inclined, I've done most of my own maintenance and small repairs on outboards, cars, motorcycles, atv's etc. But no experience with outboards. I have a friend with a bucket truck for heavy lifting. Links to informative websites and video's appreciated. Also considering conversion to an outboard with a bracket.
