Ross the older Gel was a lot different than it is today. You may just have to re-shoot it to get it to look good. Twin City Outboard has a bunch of lenses. don't worry about horsepower, but I would check the transom before you do a lot of work to it. Now's the time to do it if you're gonna.
Jerry, how would you suggest I check the transom? I suppose when I cut the floor out in the rear, I may expose the bottom of it at that time. I did probe around through the holes drilled in it and the wood feels pretty good. I suppose too, I could chip away at some of the glass fabric in the inside in several places.
My plan is to only replace that bad part of the floor under the splash well. The rest feels solid. I am NOT doing a transom on this baby. It looks to be impossible to do from the inside so the top would probably have to come off and that is all way more then I wanted to do to this one. Who knows. If I take my time with it (over a year or two) maybe I'll change my mind.
Re$hooting it $ounds expen$sive.
PS, what are you working on this winter?
