[QUOTE="samzerelli, post: 254981, member: 4169"] I removed the diamond plate floors by drilling out all the pop rivets. I then took the boat to my welder/outboard mechanic to have the following done: - change the motor oil - replace water pump impeller - replace transom wood - fix broken floor braces and make a few misc weld repairs - added a piece of plate metal to re-enforce the front "deck" The transom wood is completely enclosed by metal. He was able to just remove the bottom transom support brace and bend it up enough to get a new piece of marine plywood in there without having to cut it completely open. Also, he found that although the motor is extremely ugly, it runs like a champ and seems to have low hours on it.
