welcome aboard
for a starter motor to run backwards, you would have to wire the starter backwards. DC motors are the simplest electromechanical device there is.
you either have a permenant magnet motor or a field-wound motor (since you do not explain what type of starter you have) however if...
its an aluminum boat. start by following the line. because its aluminum, they may have assumed the floor itself is a good enough hatch
the fuel tank will be under the floor, most likely in the center of the boat, just aft of the helm seats.
nah..... that would be yours..... However i did have a McDonnalds french-fry radio as a kid. I believe 1977 as in 1976 was the "spirit of 76" radio

the GM 3.8 motors do not survive a thermal-declination-induced-phase-shift-hydro-expansion episode
core plugs are not for freeze protection. they are to get core sand out of the water passages at the foundry
only some ford models will actually survive a freeze event and not crack the block

you will need to find out if your father ran the tank completely dry or did all the gasoline turn to varnish/sludge and you need to clean the tank
to clean the tank, you need to find the access cover over the fuel tank sending unit. remove the fuel sending unit and look into...
welcome aboard.
post your serial number of the motor for us to better help you.
also, the factory manual will have wiring schematics. but without a serial number, we are guessing at the vintage of the motor.
your u-joints were slaping around in there contacting the gimbal
time to pull the rest of the drive parts and find all that is broken and go from there.
take aluminum prop and have it hard anodized and no paint required, or clear anodized (best aluminum primer there is), then take the anodized prop and go over with a good etching primer and catalyzed paint. havent done props because I have always smacked them into something down here. however...
what kind of radio/stereo? does it have an external antenna connection? usually two screws (300 ohm) or the coax cable (75 ohm)
my old shop radio was the boom box from when I was a teen. I wired a simple home made T-antenna (similar to the $5 FM antennas) and shoved it outside the window and...
A metal building is a faraday cage. Any antenna run outside the building will help. I usually stream a few stations because i have an office made of metal studs within a metal building. My cell doesnt even ring in the office
