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.

Soft deck plates, thats the gas tank cover, many many are soft!! Remove the whole panale and take all wood of, they will be small squares, you will replace with one sheet ply.
Transom is factory cut and you must have a 20" shaft motor. Might want to remove motor and take the Alum cap off and ck wood, if all is well, (sorry but I bet there if damage) then glass over sand and paint and seal forever, it the beast way. The floor is by far the worst fix, but cut it out till you ind good wood and start adding new ply. Save the skin of the floor so you just reglass it to the new wood.

That is the same transom that I have, it is factory and the cap on it is fiberglass. When I swapped engines I tried to take mine off but I think they used resin to put it on.....anyway, my transom was fine, I just sealed up the seams around it with 5200 (man I hate that stuff) and stuck on the new motor.
One thing I did have to do was grind a little on the cap where the steering arm is cause it was rubbing. I just put a little paint on it to keep it from sucking water in.

Oh, and in Miami, you will probably be able to get a good used OB out of some rich guys trashcan.
