That hull shows no sign of having water trapped in the foam. And also, she sits just as she should for that era hull. Our 87 sits lower, but the bow sits lower too-because it has more glass and overall a heavier hull. Your bow is a bit high, but the water line in the stern is not a problem-better than our 18. I would use it as is and only change it if you want to adjust the weight forward. The console can move a foot and batteries under console. Great seat, we have one also, move it up too. I think that rebuilt transom could also carry a little extra weight, but that is not a real issue.
