    Ill be digging in to it shortly. And I’ll keep the post going. Actually your post prompted me to start this post😀. The fore hatch was on the boat. The plexiglass was cracked and the bedding was shot. Sooooo all I needed to do was was remove broken plexi. No easy task. the glazing / bedding was...

    Gotcha… I found an old pic from this forum. This is from a 20ft capri but the layout of the transom is similar to mine. This is similar to what I’m thinking needs to be done. Thoughts?

    Now that the engine, Y pipe and inner transom ring have been removed it gave me full access to the transom. Taking core samples seems that the bottom third is suspect. To be expected on a boat of her age. I anticipated this would be a candidate for replacing. Looking at other transom...

    I have now removed the inner transom ring along with the balance of the outdrive. Not sure if the inner ring is good or not( see pic). Some corrosion is noticeable on the bottom. Is this part still serviceable???

    The dashboard needed attention. All gauges where bench tested. Light bulbs replaced. I used headlight lens cleaner to clear up the cloudy lenses. sanded down the outer plastic and gave them 5/6 coates of paint. Light sanding between each coat. All other toggle switches got the same paint As well...

    Trim pump was gone over and bench tested. A good cleaning and paint on the bracket that holds it down. Trim tabs also needed tlc. Previous owner had them covered with bottom paint??? Is this a common practice?

    Another project was to redo the aft cabin window( much like the front hatch) and repaint the small access hatch next to that window.

    Other projects included redoing the exterior seats. Challenging but doable if you take your time. Each piece of vinyl was carefully removed so templates could be made. Here’s the bench seat. Sewing was done on a regular surger and a number 19 needle.

    All decals and pin striping have been removed. Much wet sanding and compounding will be up next. Did a test spot and I figure it’s gonna take 15 hours to do the whole boat. I like the way it looks without the decals and striping.

    The next step was to replace the side windows since they were cracked and leaking. Made a stencil and traced the windows before removing the old plexiglas. Stress cracks were addressed when old windows were removed. The top hatch was repaired since that leaked as well. Window was removed and re...

    My intention is to replace the long block and transfer all usable parts. The old engine came out pretty easy.

    Distributor was rebuilt. New bushings were installed since there was slop on the rod. The fuel pump and power steering were both rebuilt and painted.

    Next up was the inside of the engine bay. Started at the top of the engine and worked my way down. First was to rebuilt quadrajet carb. It was a mess. But learned a lot from people on the forum.

    Being new to I/O I figured I would start with the outdrive and start pulling things apart… As parts came off the boat. I assessed each part. Replaced seals, bearing carrier, rebuilt trim cylinders and repainted parts of the outdrive. Unfortunately didn’t take many before pics but have taken the...
