I got a couple more coats of paint on it yesterday and got the paper off today, it doesn't look like a brand new boat, but it looks alot better than it did. I was reading a little on the crestliner commodore and it looks like from what I could tell that they were rated for a 35 horse motor the transom has 4 thick gussets and I can't even budge it so I think it will work out pretty good.
