Consider additional bilge pumps, or other electrical or plumbing work before buttoning up.  I am carpet hater, so I vote for removal now.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> If your motor is wasted, which I doubt, consider going to a 60-75HP.</blockquote>
