Looks just like my 86, good call on replacing the transom, mine was rotted. One think I changed is my cabin door swings in, much nicer leaving the cabin door open while fishing and still being able to use the passenger seat. If I rebuilt another starcraft I would use marine epoxy and 6 oz fiberglass on all exposed painted wood that will be exposed to the weather. Have fun with the rebuild. The 6 cyl. motor should push that boat 30+, my 140 hp 4 cyl. hits 28-30 @ sea level, wot
If your fuel tank is in the stern I would think of installing one farther forward. I have twin 16 gallon tanks, located just behind the cabin wall. You will want as much weight moved forward as possible.
