I'd enclose the transom and put a new 4 stroke on a Porta-Bracket, maybe drop down to a 150hp.
Replace the passenger back/2/back seat w/ a tackle station w/a cushion on top.
Replace Captains seat w/ anything.
Hard top w/ steering station. (this thing would be sick cruising the beaches for Tarpon)
What else? I love the hull. I've never had to deal w/ the headaches of a used boat. Now that I've had to deal w/ unemployment and all the associated b.s., I like the idea of an older boat. I'd rather dump some cash into the one who stuck by me. What would you do? Things will change and I'll be waiting.

If you are prone to use live bait and you truly got some money to spend on that 91, enclose the transom all the way up and mold a 30 gal oval shaped live well into the transom...add the bracket you mention and a 200 HP Etech (same weight as 150) like the one Slinger put on his DC...remove the windshield and have a light-weight rigid top, rocket-launchers and full side/front/rear eisenglass curtains w/pockets in the front and sides to roll up...slap an 80lb Minn Kota saltwater remote-control trollin' motor on the bow and go slow-troll some livies around those tarpon...they'll HIT IT like a freight train, so strap on a butt-plate and make sure yer hangin' on REEL good
