I looked at the pictures on your album and I don't think it is a converted Bowrider. I think it is just an early Open Fisherman / Center Console. There are some bumps in sides of the liner on the Bowriders like the Seafari's have where there is the little shelves and the cap has a 2" X 3" bump up, above the deck on each side in the last 4' from the transom. Look at he bottom of the cap and see if the restorer modified the cap there. The cap looks like original Moesly Seacraft to me, in the pictures, where it flares up slightly before turning down on for the inside surface of the cowling leaning surface. A good glass guy may have fixed the transom, sides and floor to look original, but where the heck would he find an original 19' cap?. By "converted" he may have meant that it was originally an I/O, which would have given you the full transom. Scrape the barnacles off it and go wear it out. You'er good to go.
