By the time I'm done, it will be a 23' and will go just about anywhere. For $2000 and a little work, someone will have a nice boat.

Thanks for this post Dave, kind of confirms my feeling that the notch was either "Factory" or was necessary for the original power, especially with your hull being only a year later. This boat had the original 1977 200 Merc Black Max on it when we bought it in '82. That blew the powerhead in '84.
