great to have another member south of I-10.. not sure, does the 78 have a 20 or 25 inch transom, also doesn't that deck drain into the bilge. if so, might want to raise deck to drain overboard. is your gas tank under the deck or saddle tanks?
adding the bracket & swim platform will be a big job alone. might be quicker to look for a newer hull with a blown sea drive set up. these are usually mid 80's with below deck fuel tanks, raised deck, and transom already closed.
what ever u do lots of knowledge on here. and we like pictures.
