Just joined the forum. To help set the stage and introduce myself, I am a custom coach builder and auto restoration specialist (see edsrodsandrecks.com) acquired the boat about 5years ago twin 270HP OMC Counter rotating cobra drives 225 fresh water hrs. with a bad drive. with the intent when I get a chance I will do the boat. Started out sent the drives out and had them reworked step one done 2yrs. ago. sitting and waiting. so now I have made time and the project starts. pulled interior and had cushions redone. started starboard motor runs great purrs like kitten. port motor not so much kind of growled at me . gunk in no.7 cylinder and wet in no.8 taking it off truck to engine builder block cracked. so I have ordered 2 engines with upgraded cams to boost the torque and RPM's. The floor panel at the seat back shows rot as dose the back part of the floor. figured the problem came from the hole drilled for the fuel lines and fill hoses was not originally sealed after drilling. I will start pulling the carpet up and prepping the engine parts for the new motors. As soon as I can figure out the photo thing or a photo bucket page I will post pictures. The boats been on my bucket list for 20yrs. I will have it in the ocean on my Bday in april. thanks for listening

Sounds like you are well on your way to restoring a classic boat. Looking forward to some pictures. I have the 261 with twin 454s
