Next I will need to fabricate my own splash well.

All I ever wanted was a SeaCraft with an enclosed transom!!!

Looks like you have more work to do than I do.
.My plan is only to fabricate a type of surround that will run around the back storage boxes/seats and across the front of the engine and leave enough room so it can be tilted completely up without hitting.
If I had the greenbacks,I'd have Hermco make one up as he told me he still has the mold.The cost plus shipping makes it a non option.
There's some pieces of foam board laying around at Mertons that could be used for the project.
I'm starting to like this boat more and more,but there is also part of me who is questioning whether I want to get in deep at this point in my life.
Got the house on the market,and thought it would sell quick(I was wrong)looks like I'm stuck here for a while. Now I'm laying out $15,000.00 for a new septic system.

I could have bought some beautifully restored Seacrafts for that kind of money

Good luck with your project,post up some pics when you get going.
