The motor will be up for sale if anyone wants it. The lower unit looks good as far as I can tell. I have not drained the lower unit though. The trim and tilt is not looking so good. But the whole motor for $150 comes with the prop. But you have to pick it up. And I will give ya the controls too.
I do plan on flipping the boat, I learned that lesson on the last hull I did. As far as why not redo the transom...I can only imagine how much work it would be to pull the cap off to get to it. I am not looking to do a complete restore on it as the floor is in great shape as is most of the boat. But I do want the hull to be nicely finished and I will see about the inside. I might get the urge to put it in the water sooner than I think.

Sorry, I am near Tampa FL. But I will pull the motor off as soon as possible and take pictures of the trim and see what you think. If it's just the trim you want we might be able to work something and I ship it to you.

For the hatches, you should consider recoring them. I just finished with my gas tank hatch and will post pictures of it on another thread. You're probably not going to "find" the ones you need in any better condition than the ones you have.

Im with Reel, Id seriously consider redoining that transom. You dont want that part of the boat to give you trouble in rough seas. Thats one section of the boat you want to be solid and dependable. I redid a full transom on my I/O and it was'nt that bad. I had no previous experience with fiberglass and it was a breeze to work with.

I think what I am going to try is pouring that sealer into the transom. It is suppose to store its strength. Then use that marine patch stuff to seal it tight and use a piece of angle aluminum to keep it rigid. For now, I am thinking that will have to do until I have a better in flux of capitol to redo the transom.

Figured I would keep posting pics as I go. So far I am thinking I did pretty well. The two hatches in the floor are soft and will have to be replaced but the rest is looking pretty solid. The transom is not as bad as I thought, but I will be using the resin that is suppose to restrengthen it and add an angle bracket to be sure it does not move.
