So i went out this weekend in search of a new hull. No motor just the hull, and well after reading on here for what seemed decades. I felt more informed then i have ever felt on any decision. I went through this hull like it was a open heart surgery the man said, i took a rubber mallet and tapped on the transom to hear if it was solid or not. Climbed up into it and checked the floor out. He was laughing because i was jumping up and down in it. He even showed me the paper work where he had the floor and transom done at a local buisness that is where everyone was sending me for my transom as they are the best of the best in the area. So i felt really great about it all. Then the best part he was asking 800 for it and i was trying to sell my plasma cutter for 500. He happened to see it in my car and said he was wanting one like that. So all and all i swaped a plasma cutter that was sitting in my garage collecting dust for a very solid boat. He just took it as a even trade. I will hopefully have more pics soon then the one i have i spent most of this evening transplatting the motor off my p.o.s. To this new. O sorry i left this out it is a 1985 bayliner capri from best i can tell it is the capri model. I tried a hin search and it didnt help but it was late last night and i was on the wrong site. 16 footer which is what i came from but i had a 1974 starcraft america that the transom was falling off of. When we took the motor off today it actually feel to the ground. But i wanted to say a many thanks for all the wealth of knowledge on here. Heck i even pulled the back seats and looked to make sure the transom was glassed to the side of the hull completly. So sorry this was so long winded i am just so thrilled with what i accomplised this weekend with all the new knowledge. So greatful for you all.
