Have insurance and wear PFDs. It may be ok, it may sink Since rot starts at the keel and goes up, and the floor rots 10 years after...

the most likely cause is a leaking riser a leaning manifold blown head gasket cracked block from improper winterizatin

The split is 1990 and below or 1991 and above For your 1976 motor, any 1990 and older manifold will work. Just get a new one

New doesn't mean good Check fuel pressure like the manual states as the troubleshooting step

Soak with penetrating oil Then use a metal paint scraper or a gasket scraper. I have use wood chisels in the past
