			Thank you all for the replys.  I didnt have a chance to work on the boat this weekend but did take some more pics.  I will post either later tonight or tomorrow morning.  Regarding outboard type, I will consider what everyone said, however the bottom line is every outboard out there has some history of failure.  Whether you talk to people or search online, literally every manufacturer has had issues.  My neighborhood is a huge boating community and everyone there also has their opinion on what type of outboard I should get.  Someone has told me to stay away from every type of outboard including mercurys, yamahas, etecs, optimaxes etc.  I would like a four stroke but also know that they are quite heavy outboards for a V.  That being said, one outboard I might check out is the new mercury 4 cylinder 4-stroke.  Its around 450 lbs and has rave reviews so far.  Ill update everyone soon.  Thanks again.
