CAN I INJECT THE TRANSOM TO GET LIFE?so i dont have to change drive. IS THERE A MARKET FOR USED INBOARDS AND OUTDRIVES? HOW DO YOU INTEGRATE STRINGERS TO TAKE A BRACKET FOR OUTBOARD? Thanks for any knowledge.

Lots of re-do's on this site. Probably the best and most commented on is "Here we go again" by Chuck Strickland. Awesome work and really well documented total rebuild of a 20' CC, not a Seafari though. Still worth the readSSS to get all of it. From there, take your pick, start some searches and open up the time frame of your searches; the boats have been around a while, haven't changed much and many have been rebuilt and a good %age of those have been damn fine work!

Don't hesitate to ask questions. Many on here have forgotten more than most of us will ever know, but somehow I believe they will remember and share that knbowledge if asked. Get a list of questions, do some homework, get a digital camera, learn how to post your pic's and have at it! You are about to make a whole bunch of new friends.

PS. Welcome aboard.

IS THERE A MARKET FOR USED INBOARDS AND OUTDRIVES?

There is always a market for this stuff. If you sell it part by part you will earn more $$. If you sell as a package and price it right on Craigslist it will be gone in a day or two.
