Bought this neglected un-maintained sundancer back in April and have been slowly chipping away at all that is wrong with it. It's been a pretty fun project so far. The more I undo that was done wrong the better it gets. I have a new SEI outdrive an Merc prop, a very good condition gimbal housing to replace the corroded one that has never had the zincs replaced, there was just a small piece left clinging to the threads. The "bones" are all good, stringers and other structures right up to the transom, which is completely rotted out due to some numbskull using the wrong method of running a transducer cable through the transom, and on top of that they didn't use any sealer. That appears to be the worst thing to deal with, which isn't that bad, I've done a few transom wood replacements before, just time consuming.
Here's some pics of everything so far.....
