Thanks for all the encouragement fellas. *I feel like a little kid right now. :) :) :) :) :) :) ;D ;D :D ;) ;D 8)

As far as the transom goes, I believe the full across transom like willy showed from the wellcraft site wasn't introduced until 1988. *Before that they just used a normal cutaway/washwell deck cap with an I/O hull. *Then made a piece that fills the gap where the cutaway would normally be in the cap. *It's pretty easy to see this, once you look inside the bilge.

This transom has not been filled. *All the glass on the transom is definitely factory. *I have seen both types of hull caps in my searching for this particular boat. *All the ones I saw like mine were 1987 and older. *

I am not going to keep the seadrive mount/engine combo. *I don't particularly care for a 20 year old motor.
When I can afford it, I will get an Armstrong full floatation bracket, and a Suzuki four stroke.

Now back to that wiring,

BTW, Grace

It looks like someone did a really nice job of filling the seams and molding your cap filler into the cap. I looked at a dually just like yours here, same year as yours and its just like mine(with the seams). wierd.
