Peter,
Welcome to the board and nice boat [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] . That yellow was an available hull color for SC's back in the '70s. Is it the original color of your particular boat? Hard to tell, but most likely yes. Regarding your re-do, you really should talk with Trayder (Jason Goldfarb), the site admin, he lives in your neck of the woods and has totally redone a '69 20CC. Take a look at his progress in the pictures section of the site. Although they aren't as up to date as the project (we got to see it firtshand this past weekend, very nice!!), the pictures will give you some idea of what to do when the repower and transom issue comes up.
