When I recently bought a 1970 Chrysler commando 15 foot center console boat. It had a 1990 Johnson 88 hp on it which I just swapped out for a 1973 Johnson 115. My question is this, the 88 only had the top two mounting holes drilled through the transom albeit also through a metal plate capping the transfom. The bottom portion of the mounting bracket where you would put the bottom two bolts is well below the waterline which is why I assume nobody ever drilled it out. It would be very easy for me to use the mounted engine as a template and drill two more holes for the lower portion of the motor mount and then just be very very diligent about waterproofing. What would any of you recommend
