Default Repowering

I'm repowering my 91 V-20 I/O. I have the motor out and the upper portion of the 290 outdrive off, trim tabs off. I'm replacing the outdrive water hose, helmet bushing (has anyone replaced that and if so tell me how they did it). Would anyone like me to take pics and provide status on work? I've already done some work:

I had a rotten port aft stringer (mtr mount) so I cut the top of the gel coat out and (left sides) and dug out the rotten wood. I poured resin and laid 4 layers of glass on the remaining good wood and then placed a board (fir) insert on top of the glass and then poured resin and stuffed glass on each side and end and then laid glass on top until it was even with the existing sides of glass. I laid a trash bag on top and cut a board that was the same length and width as the insert and set that and a 30lb weight on it and left it for 3 days. I didn't use as much hardner as reccomended so it wouldn't hard to fast and get brittle.

I just have to mix up some white gelcoat and pour on top to match and that should finish that project.

If anyone would like pics and job status let me know and I'll start posting.
