The unicorn will sell. Yt knows the market price on that. Again. Labor is your enemy. I think 3k for each big item.
Vid of engine and drive working and dated before removal and compression test done before also. And a engine scan will help.

Yes he means the arch. It's a unicorn for anyone wanting to install one. Almost impossible to find one. I bought one from a boat a guy was parting out.

And it's not glass. Its actually aluminum covered in gelcoat.

YT is the opposite of an arch nemesis...he’s our arch hero!

Enjoy the read in that thread tx2.

And yes, you are correct. The transom is glassed composite. No wood there.

So, spoke to wonderful Rick at the factory. They do, in fact, have some instructions on how to construct/deconstruct the cabin that he is going to send me...along with the model of the portlights.

He did say it was rare, but they do hear of some instances of where the portlight seals have failed. And that he's never heard of a structural hull failure for that, but the lights may need to be ground out and rebed.

Am going to sleep on this one.
