Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,.... That, ain't gonna happen....

The hull is, what it is...

The wiring is pretty basic simple stuff,... trace it out, 'n you'll know what ya got...

There's Lots of hull info in the restoration forum, 'n generic wirin' diagrams in the electrical forum...

Have you replaced the stringers and transom?
You should really start a thread in the Restoration and Repair forum, with lots of pictures so people know what you're talking about.
No, you don't normally foam over any drain holes. Plan on giving any water that gets in a clear path back to the transom drain hole.
