Sorry about the lack of information in my post.The Ohio title that I received at purchase states that it is a 1966 .
There is no hull number listed and I can not find one.
It does have the lower transom .Some one suggested a jack plate or a filler plate that can be had for around $500 but I am not looking to spend that kind of money.
I am fairly handy with repairs and have done some fiber glass work in the past.Is there any plan that covers this project or is it better to bite the bullet and buy the plate.Also is anyone using a long shaft on the short transom and how does it preform ?
Again this 13 footer is a center steer,no consol,steering just mounted flush into mehogany plank,gunnel to gunnel.
Is this factory ?
Thank`s for all the responce............Patrick
