Re: Mercruiser I/O vs Outboard SeaCraft?
The cracking in the fiberglass you see is more than normal crazing, and indicative of excessive stress. The deck plate of the left of the transom goup is a sunk boat waiting to happen. The gimbal housing is newer style, but the drive itself loks to be original pre-Alpha. The aluminum plate around the transom group would cause me to avoid this boat without figuring on absolutely replacing the transom core.

My 20 has the plate in the same place. I put a strainer plate on the outside and a sealed one on the inside of the live well. The original was drilled holes through the glass skin. It looked hokie with the holes, hence the 4 inch strainer plate. See ya, Ken
