look thru the gallery and see teh different doors that wellcraft offered. My louvered door fellapart, too many pieces to put back together. I got a door off of a later model that had plexi panels with a teak frame. If you are handy with wood, you can make your own paneled door. AS far as the repower, when looking for a bracket, keep your eye out for discarded fiberglass platforms. I've seen boats where the bracket used is juct teh simple box type, but they install it below a fiberglass platform, kinda hides teh bracket, makes it look more finished. The best used motor(power to weight) for your boat is going to be a two stroke Mercury(150-200). If you can afford newer, try an E-Tec. Soem of teh Johnrude have favorable power to weight ratios(i Can't remebr which ones), Ferm will be along shortly to remind us of which OMC's to use. One thing to remember if you decide to go bracket, the entire transom will most likely need to be reiforced. OMC mounted the 800 series motor/drive to the stringers, not to the transom(Thats why they call them stringer drives), generally the transom of a stringer drive doesn't need the full thickness of a Mercruiser or an OB installation. You probably don't have as much of a transom as the rest of the V's

Here is some dirty boat-porn for you!

I have most of the day free today so I will at least start the clean up and start making "the list"

I have heard of putting a head in the cabin but I think this is the wrong type.


Misc. engine parts/junk on the deck


EEEEWWW!


Just need to squint my eyes and imagine the potential.
