I've never been much of a fan of the L & S extension boxes. And note bravos are not the strongest drives for a blown engine. Check the gimbal for play too.

Note, bravo gimbal rings are notorious for rounding out the upper swivel pin slot.
The added leverage and strain due to the design of the L & S dtrive extension cant help that. I would inspect that VERY carefully.

BY Boy,
First off, drop the upper case/capitol letters in your posts. Bad Internet etiquette. It is considered yelling.
Second, I don't care what anybody tells you, you won't know what's in there until you take it apart.
Third, it's a Wellcraft and I have seen my share of problems in the engine mount to stringer block configuration of the late 80's to early 90's. It is a pi$$ poor design.
There are other boats to consider. Good Luck!
