Their would definately be interest! Due mostly to the increase in cockpit space when a bracket is used.
People who leave their boats in the water all the time will like the outbaords better or if you plan on a center console model, those people will like the egg beaters.
Looking at pantera's 24 model over the years most are I/O's
Of 46 Pantera 24's boats. 38 are I/O's, 4 are twin outboard and 4 are single outboard.
Looking at Banana Boat LTD out of port edgewood, seems most of the 1981 to 1992 boats were twin outboard design and sold really well in New England.

I agree that there would be interest in the outboards. But I'm sure that there would be interest in the I/O as well. It would be cool to maybe see some "greener" outboards on one without sacrifice of performance.

Okay next question: We want to keep control over the quality of the rigging on the new outboard boats we sell....I guess that means that we sell only outboard boats fully rigged.
What kind of market do we have now?

And I think a 24 OB is a great idea. And sell them rigged.
If someone has their own ob to throw on, let them ship it to you.

The above begs the question:
(1) Who would be doing the rigging at the factory?
(2) Who is setting the definition of quality?
(3) How is quality defined?
(4) Will the rigging be reflected in the boat's warranty?
Just curiousity questions that I would have relating to "factory rigging"?

Re: Outboards anyone?
think 24 with a single 275 Verado will suit the Swedish market well.
Hey Charlie, what color scheme are you planing?? The classic clean style or this multi-tutti-frutti-color-tribal style?
I prefer the first....
Cant wait to see some pix of the new boats,
