Thank you guys for the quick response.

It's an I/O, I think a Merc - I'm taking the day off today and will go get some pic's and see if I can get a ser. no. and other info. off the engine.

I went to the Marinetex web site and will read up on their stuff.

I'll definitely do my homework before any foaming for flotation - I suppose it might hold water against something else (like the wood stringers???) that could be a problem.

I AM hooked. My daughter wangled the deal (got the boat free from the guy) for a birthday present. I'd be REAL unpopular if I sold it. I have a pretty decent shop, my son is an auto mechanic, I like to fool around with this kind of project and I'm kind of a glutton for punishment.
