Thanks for the thorough reply, all makes sense. I'll get the hull number. My Dad was actually the original 1981 owner (Ninja), then it went through two guys (Penguin), then to my Dad's best friend (Mambo), now to me.
How hard is it to remove the floor? I don't see that in the rebuild posts I know of. Seems like I could rip out the vermiculite so the aft end of the boat could drain and also install a second 1/2 bilge hose so I can have a manual along with the automatic. Seems like a good idea anyway.
