okay okay here is some pics I hope.:pic:  also the guy I got this from said the transom was repaired with seacast but from what i can tell only the top half was done and it looks no done very good at that..  I hope it ain't that bad but we will see I like to raise the transom if I redo it cause the motor sits so far back anyways and this should keep this area even dryer.  :sly:

That would be a 78. 
 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but do I spy one of those elusive "Norton Snagger" model steering wheels?

That boat has been butchered, I would tell a friend to run the other direction, unless he had alot of money he didn't want anymore. Thats a train wreck. Hope you didn't give much for it. it can be resurrected but man ................

Looks similar to my '78, except for the helm.
