Jeff,
Yes, the originals were year specific The reproductions are year generic. I don't know but you may need to have them made!

Sue Boissenet sent me and Monty this after meeting her at GL as she had them made for her year SN and the guy can change to the year you need.

Steve that would be great! Ill help to the best of my knowledge. Im just the tip of the ice burg with the know how to redo these boats I learned a great deal from the elders on this site!

Very good job Jeff.   Now that's what you guys should be seeing in your lay-up. Clear and transparent! Thats when you know you have achieved maximum adhesion.

Here is a sample of the floor covering ill be using, made by nautolex [shark]

if you change the gimble bearing, the one from merc no longer has a grease hole to grease it, normally i will get the bearing from napa because that one is still a greasable bearing...i think we also talked about the alignment tool, i see them on e-bay often for 20 bucks, the bearing is a spherical bearing and the inner race will move and often throwing the mechanic off while aligning, very critical to get these drives aligned properly, if you know this already, dis-regard

also, make sure the splines on your drive coupling are intact, its the piece that is a damper like molded rubber that bolts to the flywheel, change many of those over the years because they are aluminum splines, pack it with never sieze on install
