it's possible after some hull strengthening modification such as epoxy coating inside the hull, there's a lot of stress on the hull when using bigger engine such as more engine vibration, crashing the boat at 40-50's mph can tear the boat...

hope u can find a side exhaust so u can put the pipe just like stock coz i believe K&b has a rear exhaust.

with the exhaust rear center there will be a difficulty modifying the radiobox.

keep us update.goodluck[sm=thumbup.gif]
