Looks good and very clean.

Observation:
It looks like the old motor was mounted using the "Blind" holes.
Now your new motor looks like it is using the Standard BIA mounting holes which would mean the lower holes are the "Red" ones.
In 1986/1987, the 17' hulls could drill the Standard BIA holes.
Also looks like your motor is mounted 2 holes up.

Can you measure your holes in the transom and let us know for sure that the "Red" holes are drilled?
