I have a Ranger bass boat. Was told it 8s an 84 373V. How can I tell for sure what I have? It had some rot in the console area deck but no rot has been found anywhere else. Transom seems solid. If it turns out I am wrong about that I will replace it. I really like the layout of this boat. However I could find no weak or rotted areas in transom or stringers. The stringers appear to be glass over foam and I was told it should be. I am repowering this with a 77 Mercury 1150 from another boat I bought just for the parts. Its all rotted lol. Engine seems to run great though. I am not sure what holes in the engine mounting as this is not a standard OMC pattern as the boat was originally equipped. I got it as basically a bare hull with tanks and some old junk wiring lol.
I know how to measure and drill then seal with resin and redrill to final size, as well as sealing the old holes in transom. I just need to know what holes in the old tower of power to use to bolt it to the transom. Thanks.
