I was given this boat. The engine fires and runs, its has the wash down on it. I put it in the water without checking the ride plate. I was never able to get it up on plane. I checked it out this morning and was horrified. 4 of the screws have been replaced with non-stainless bolts. If I have to drill these out, are they tap-able? The wear ring and prop looks good, the engine has good compression on all cyylinders, the ride plate seems to be the only problem. From the attached pictures, how much of a hassle is it going to be to fix this? I search the boards as best as I can, where can I find a diagram and parts list for this, or a reliable source for the service manual in PDF. Or does any body just know what bolts to use?
Thanks
