Repower with 1983 235 VRO?

[Gallagher]

Thanks, reela. Lots of boat porn giving me ideas.

On yours, assuming you had some cracking in the deck, do those cover/fill with new deck paint? I need to cut a hatch for the bilge pump anyhow so why not roll on some new paint when I'm finished.

Also, on these older models there are no scuppers. Do folks create them? I'll search scupper too. I'm dreaming about a 175 Suzuki ...
