Re: 1977 Wellcraft Suncruiser complete restore
A lot of progress tonight. A 13,000 RPM grinder and a 36 grit disk are wonderful things. Here is where I started this evening.

Unless otherwise directed, I am going to build the transom to the height of the horizontal line you can see in the photo.
I imagine that the line between the upper and lower part of the transom was to separate where the ladder, tie downs, and other hull penetrations were required. After all said and done, I think I have everything pretty well cleaned up and ready for the next steps.

Speaking of hull penetrations, there are 42 holes through the transom that are
not used for ladders, tie downs, or gimbal housing. Do you think thats where my water came from?
As for my outdrive, you tell me, what do I have?
Thanks for the help..... iBoats rocks....
