1971 Re-Build just started - have questions

[SeaCraft Stu]

Hello, just purchased a 1971 20' Potter Hull. Want to re-do her. Just gonna throw out some of my ideas, and hope I get some feedback. Would like to know if good ideas or bad:

140 HP 4-stroke suzuki
raise deck
raise transom, but kepp transom well and transom mounted engine (no bracket)
use a "Dorado" console and live well seat (see 23' Dorado website).
Will probably have work done in Stuart by Mike at Wild cat marine

All good ideas. If you are going to get rid of that console, I would like to buy it from you.
