I bought a 23ft Unifite Cruiser that had this done. There are some balancing and trim issues, since the position of the engine is different and weight is shifted. I can trim my boat out to ride smooth at 22+kts, but it has a tendancy to drift in the direction of the engine torgue, and sometimes suddenly. The boat was not designed for a sterndrive so there are definite steerability issues. I am searching for a solution to this one myself.
