New 23 Owner - question

Hello Everyone -

My dad and i took delivery of our new (to us) 23 Seacraft. The hull is a 1985 and we bought it without power or a trailer. It was an interesting move on a borrowed trailer, but we got it done.

My first question is, was a 30 inch transom available in 1985?

Anyone....anyone?

Just trying to determine if the transom is original. The fuel tank was made in 2005, so i'm wondering if the transom was done at the same time.

The transom is 30" so if it wasn't offered in 1985, well then i know someone has done some work.
