    1986 four winns 160 restoration

    You would be correct. I got part of the floor off and the stringers are completely shot. No I'm pretty sure that's a crack. I'm going to get it diagnosed just to be sure before I tear into it and see if it's worth it. I took the motor apart and removed the anchor bolts.
