Well I removed the tank, and it looks to be in good shape. No pitting. The platform it sat on was just glassed on one side, didnt take much to yank that out. It was at the beginning stages of rot, cant believe it survived 35 years. I dont think this boat has had alot of continuous use through its life.
After taking a hard look at the boat tonight, Ill be considering removing the transom cap and notching the back, instead of a bracket. Ill wait till when I get closer to make a decision.

You're a sick bastard Krispy - but you found the right place for info on your project - good luck! M will divorce you (or at least consider it) by the time you are done...
