Re: Classic boat pic gallery (20yr and older)
What's that large plate on the transom above the Stringer opening? Did you have to fix the transom? Nice looking boat though.
being a 69, it had the high profile electric sterndrive. (and a 110hp 2.5L)
I repowered it with a 1984 800 series / V6 setup, which was low profile, so after cutting the lower part of the opening down 4", I cut the top half of the opening out, slid it down 4" and refiberglassed it, so I would only have to work with rectangles instead of curves. After replacing a large chunk of the plywood from the inside, I did a poor job (imo) of trying to match the gel-coat, so I hid it with a $20 sheet of aluminum checkplate. I also covered the old push-pull steering hole with it.
