No boat, no kids. Just a convertible and my wife. :)
But yeah, also realizing that there's a whole huge lake right there, I'm sure there's cool stuff there, right?
Looking for somewhere to stay for a night on the way to Toronto. Probably somewhere in the vicinity of 219, maybe 1-3 hours south of Niagara falls. Any cool little towns, b&b's, little lakes, etc?
Flat section could be custom made by a glass shop for short money. Curved, not as easy. If that piece was purchased through Taylor made, then yeah, gonna be spendy regardless of the shape
The guy before you didn't do any maintenance either. Sucks throwing in the towel in June, swapping in a new drive is easy if you can find one. Once the gears grenaded that thickened up the oil. Didn't have time to fully circulate. Conventional wisdom is that your lower is now contaminated and...
Idk, tough to assess the block based on those pics. You need to clean out those cylinders at least to see how much rust is there. Head for sure needs addressed, and at least test exhaust components. If getting on the water >> worth more than your time, you can roll the dice. Maybe you can bring...
Not being completely empty =/= full. That drive gear oil looks original to the boat. If this boat is new to you, you need to do all of the maintenance that's been ignored. A new SEI drive is your quickest way back on the water, or something off CL if you can find it

No...
That cable is just a continuity wire, nothing to do with your issue.
Agree with @kenny nunez and @dubs283 that the overheat + not getting into gear would suspect shredding gears, broken outdrive driveshaft or spun engine coupler.
1. I'm not real clear on what happens when you activate the...
Wondering if anyone has replaced a curved glass windshield with flat glass. I bet a whole custom flat glass windshield would cost less than 1 piece of curved glass specific to that boat.
