yes i did keep the most of the parts and pieces, but i didnt keep the windshield.
Many of the stainless steel parts i keep from the 73' boat are made of a better quality than the one on the 86' boat, so i look forward to replace some of then.
The fuel cap looks great made of stainless steel and the one on this boat is made of plastic.

Today im mounting the boat on concrete blocks to remove trailer out.
--Theres something i need to know, how do i remove the Blue paint from the bottom of the hull?? is it there a special liquid to remove paint without the need to sand it? or which way is best and also i need to know how to make the bottom shine like new. If i were to paint it do i use Gelcoat only or i need some other type of paint?
---To bond the hull damage parts, Gelcoat powder mix with resine and make a paste, is this good enough to seal the gelcoat damage parts or do i need to apply Gelcoat alone in those areas?
I dont want to take long time to fix and paint, cause i need to get the engine fix asap.
