Thank you everyone for the welcome!! Here are some photos of the boat I might just name "The Ship Wreck". Destroyer you are absolutely right, one bite at a time, and before I know it shes done!! This is my second boat restoration the only difference is this one requires alot more fiberglass work. I work as a county boat mechanic working on lifeguard boats. And if you know anything about lifeguards they can break just about anything. I have my fair share of fiberglass repairs under my belt, just not to this extent. I'm sure with everyones phd's in "insane" I can get this thing done and done right! As if I didnt have enough to do on this girl I just picked up a 92' yammy pro v 200 with a broken crank today. Just another hurdle in the long list of tasks.
On a different note, how many of you live in southern california? From my lurking I've gathered that alot of you guys reside on the east side of this fine country. Thanks again everyone!!!

I remember that one posted for sale a while back. I have a supposedly rebuilt OMC stringer drive that will fill up that hole lol.
Not many with the factory blue gel coat.

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but don't forget that boat will need an actual transom put in it. The OMC stringer drives didn't actually mount to the transom, but instead the stringers, so the transom in them is very weak. So plan on stripping the transom down to bare glass, and building it up from scratch.

I have no idea what a stringer drive is.....time for me to do some research! but i had planned on completely rebuilding the transom and stringers and probably gusseting the stringers about a foot in front of the transom to the stringers at a 45* angle to support the extra leverage and weight of the bracket.

The OMC stringer drive is also known as "The White Anchor". I'm surprised it wasn't made by Chrysler.
One good thing is you can usually get used parts for very cheap to even free. http://www.glmmarine.com/30yearsomc.html http://www.boatservicehaarlem.nl/omc_tilt_system_b.pdf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac7G7xOG2Ag

It atatched completely to the stringers of the boat, and only used a heavy rubber boot to seal it to the transom. It really wasnt a bad idea, but that rubber boot posed a SERIOUS safety hazard. One tear in a rubber, and you lost everything(I'll let others catch onto the "other" meaning).
