    Also what's the strategy for drainage? I tore out 1 floor drain infront of the cabin door. Was that the only one? Anyone do anything different when they rebuild theses boats?

    Can anyone recommend a good cleaner? Theres like this scum in some areas under where the foam was. Wire wheel removes it but it's slow.

    Like 99% foam free. I think I'll do a little more cleaning and then I'll try and get the motors off so I can start digging the old transom out.

    I think I'll focus on getting the boat itself squared away then I tackle these engines. I think I should try and avoid tearing everything apart at one time.

    Finally got around to doing a compression test on the engines. I don't think it looks good but I'm not an engine expert. Left 1= 100 3=75 2=110 4=90 Right 1=75 3=90 2=80 4=80

    They are randomly located under where the foam was. None are to deep. Maybe like half a pinhead.
