Is there someone who have any idea about use an modern outboard engine, dismantle it, and use it as an inboard engine? Is it posible. About 60 hp.

Modern outboards use a 2 to 3 to 1 reduction in the lower unit. If you were to attempt this conversion you would need a gear with a similar reduction, an adapter plate to handle exhust and cooling water, and a splined shaft to match the crankshaft. It could be done but if you have to pay to have it done you could buy an inboard set up.

OMC used outboard powerheads as "inboards" on some jet powered boats.
