Congrats on the new aquisition and welcome to the board...if an outboard(sounds like it due to transom cut down), you might want to consider rebuilt power-head...a "hole-in-one" in this game ain't a good thing...if the transom was cut down, as long as it is SEALED and not seeping water into it, you oughtta be OK...
Pictures when you can...

Just to give you some idea of a reman powerhead.
Average core charge you will have to pay being yours ain't salvagable $700. Average powerhead (your type) with 1 year warrenty $2800 and up. Chances are fair you will run across an engine with a damaged foot or even a derlict rig with a good engine for around $1500.

There ought to be a lot of motors the same as yours available with a destroyed foot laying around.
Around here it 's the opposite, most people blow the engine and have foots laying around.

Here where i mark in red have a scratch missing the gelcoat a little
 Here soft floor all around this area, maybe the water got inside under the captain chair? not sure.  soft around these circles, how i fix or fill with something between both fiber glass layer to make it firm?  here a view of the transom cut, it looks fine to me but i was just wondering if thats fine, because i havent seen any other of these boats like that. IF is ok then nothing to worry.  other view, i had to take these photos with the cellular cause i couldnt find batteries for the digital camara but either way is the same.

Depending on how soft the floor is, that might be the biggest problem. If it's just a little soft I would live with it. V20's came from the factory with lower transoms like yours. Be careful backing down or beaching the boat with waves coming over the transom--other than as long as it's solid (lift up on the motor to see if there's any movement in the transom) you should be ok. The gel coat chipped off the keel can be fixed with fiberglass or marine tex. It's all something thats been fixed before by someone else on this board.
Try using the search feature. There's tons of info available.
