Alright guys, <br /><br />Bear with me. I'm not a millionaire by any means, which is why I have the boats I have! <br /><br />For a long story short, I have a 71 glasspar, and it has the OMC outdrive. The forward gear went out and I found a 69 evinrude with the same motor and drive for 500 bucks and it was cheaper than any outdrive or lower unit I could find, so I bought the whole boat. I used the lower unit off the Evinrude for the Glasspar and it worked great all summer. Just for fun, I thought I'd get the Evinrude running this summer and I did, and it worked well. The only issue is that it rides very rough (it's a tri-hull) and it's heavier than the Glasspar, in turn makes it a little slower.<br /><br />The Glasspar has a bit of rot in the floor and the transom is also soft. The Evinrude has a solid floor and transom. Should I keep the Evinrude or keep the Glasspar and repair it? Either way, one will be scrapped. <br /><br />Thank you for your info!<br /><br />Josh
