Re: Mercruiser I/O vs Outboard SeaCraft?
The cracking in the fiberglass you see is more than normal crazing, and indicative of excessive stress. The deck plate of the left of the transom goup is a sunk boat waiting to happen. The gimbal housing is newer style, but the drive itself loks to be original pre-Alpha. The aluminum plate around the transom group would cause me to avoid this boat without figuring on absolutely replacing the transom core.
