That trans was new when I sold it with the gimble and drive gone over must of ran it hard. The trans should be cheep to fix. nice buy and get some real trim tab for that thing. Does it still have the red carpet below. Make sure that the cooling hose from the trans is not blocked should dump into starboard exhaust if that boat was in a winter freeze it could have popped some thing inside the trans to get water in there.

yeah the bellow came off and I believe it went in through the rear seal. I installed a transom drain for the trans cooling so I can monitor it.
I just talked to the marina and they said it'll be needing a new ujoint and yoke.... I'm out of town and can't take a look at it. I believe that yoke and u joint is like 600 bucks if you can find it. I did not feel much play in the drive but I did not see it off yet. how do you confirm that they are shot??
I am looking at extending the tabs but did not know if I can just bolt on some alum or stainless with the same rams.... anyone have thoughts on this???

yeah I got the new trans installed, serviced the outdrive and that new u joint. Boat runs great. Only thing that could use some work is the rear bench seat upholstery and some nice tabs. Right now I am happy with the boat, if you want make me an offer.
