Default 1979 MA and 1976 Seafari

Though a little early in the game, I need some opinions. I'm getting closer to selling the Whalers and will be ready to begin learning more about refurbing old SeaCrafts. So, the MA has a new plywood transom, unfortunately still 20", with a Johnson 175, both of 1999, and only 160 hours out of the garage. She really needs nothing but a new 72 gallon fuel tank, and a recored fuel hatch.

The 1976 SeaCraft is in need of a I/O to outboard (bracket?) conversion. I have the opportunity to buy a '13 or '14 Suzuki 175 4S, unfortunately also a 20" shaft. Am curious if I should buy a five inch extension for the Johnson and shift it to the Seafari and bracket, and buy the Zuke for the MA.

Ultimately retiring to Hernando Beach Fla, and fishing the gulf. I am excited to snag a ride in a Seafari to check out the differences in the hull. What do you all think?

Thanks in Advance.
