Tran is a ZF63 1.5/1. 240 Yanmar is just over $20K w/ gear and instrument panel. Which is really cool by the way, all one unit, just plug it in. It's going to look nice in the console with the GPS and Radar over top of it.
The decks were soft. I don't know how rotted as I just cut through and removed them in sections. If they were anything like my hatches,they were rotted. The transom was wet but not pulp. The inner layer came out easy, the outer layer I scored with a circular saw then it was hammer, chisel, and beer time. Marine plywood and epoxy will be used for the decks and transom.
I live just southeast of Philadelphia around exit 3 of the NJTP. Not much to see now. The boat is going to the boat yard on Feb 1. If you want any specific pictures while I have it apart let me know.
Go EAGLES !!!!!!!!!
