How olds the boat 30 years.You can almost see it now,cast your mind back 30 years,boat shop inthe U.S,this boat rolls off the line."Who lined up this engine,who drilled those holes offcenter"?Crikey guys we have to start being more careful,"Send it to Australia".
As for Tassie,it's a little island way down south where everybody is brother and sister.

What a lousy install job I can't imagine any reason for that offset. You had better plan on replacing the entire transom and most of the main stringers as well. Good luck with that project.
