Do you see the remnant of whatever permanent adhesive he used? There is a reason I ask, but if it's there the next question would be: when did he apply it and why didn't it stick? I feel your pain and hope your Stu job turns out better than mine.

Jet boat conversion. Or ditch the headers all together and put a whacker on it. Just think you could add third row seating and sell rides to the bar to cover all your costs.

So the strut is gone and the holes where the hardware all bolted are filled. Sounds like it is time to do a 100% re-rig job. Maybe a 7 degree drop thru strut, a new 10 degree V-drive with a whirl-away? Good luck, a quick job that just got a lot harder. Be sure to get good help when it comes to placement of the engine and strut.

thats the problem all holes in the bottom of the boat are still there ...

yes there was a quarter size glob of some black stuff .. the strut base is 4" x 8" so it had about 1/20th coverage
