I agree on pic 9. Looks like rot under the thru hull. I would go thru it with a screwdriver trying to find rot. Two grand is high. You might recover some money selling the outdrive and motor. Give it a couple weeks then try again.
Also take the rod boxes out and check the stringers and floors (cross members) for rot. If i had done that on the 18 Fisherman i would have found rot and not have bought it.
