I have a 69 bow rider that I am working on. Converting it from an OMC I/O to an outboard. Transom was rotten on the port side but solid on the starboard side. Stringers appear to be solid but I didn't take the floor up. I am putting a 115 johnson on it, what do the other 19 bowriders have for power and what kind of speed do you get?
The suspected culprit for the rot on the port side is the blidge outlet.
