Looks just like my '74 when I got it...even the '86 Evinrude 150...I had the exact same motor and it's a real workhorse...good power for that boat...only downside there is gas consumption...that is what lead me to up-sizing fuel tanks on mine...discarded the 20 gal saddles and constructed seat boxes to contain 40 gal tanks each side...total 80 gals...freed up lateral space in cockpit, too, plus the rear of the boxes are excellent place for rod-holders
 Remade floor hatch-lids outta 3/4" starboard and found large cooler to be fish-box in forward hold...that has worked out great... I've just discovered my forward deck in front of the windshield has gotten soft from wood core rot...while you have yours apart, check it out as it'll be LOTS easier to repair flipped upside-down... One thing ya wanna do is when you put the cap back on, the panels under the dash-boards SUPPORT the dash...it's important to get those the right height so your windshield center piece fits... Good luck and keep the pics of your progress comin'!!...

Bad news is it has to be fixed!
Good news, after it is fixed you will feel like you have a brand new boat!  There is much comfort in not having to wonder if the transom is good, but knowing it is good! Each time you fix or repair something you will have that much more confidence and pride in your boat.  Don't let it deter you from fixing it right, the first time! Take your time, research each project, and ask for all the free advice we can give you! Along with many others, I would have never tackled some of my own projects without other members help and advice on how to's along with their helpful pictures to show me how! This is a great place to be! And a great group of people on it!! Good luck and keep sending pics!!  Tommy
