Thanks guys!! I posted 19?? because I am not sure of the year. My research tells me like '68. To confirm the windows were never there , no evidence of being glassed over. Too bad, whoever bought originally didn't spring for the $40 option. hopefully i get a little better at pics and posts. glad to be aboard

There was no fuel tank when I got the boat. The filler hose is all rotted away and the hole for the mounted cap is too large for the one that was rattling around in it.

I have a 2003 Explorer 215 with a 175 Johnson, all original, and it looks like the label for the engine info has fallen off. My question is was there a specific model number used for this engine or were there a few different engine models. If anyone would have any info on the correct engine model I would appreciate it. Just trying to get some newer parts.
Thanks
Howard

Unless you have issues with the way it runs, i would leave the motor where it is. Typically as Rickk mentioned, the cavitation plate is at the same level as the bottom of the hull at the transom. Regarding the fuel tank coffin, not sure why one would scrap it out of the boat. It serves the purpose well to keep the fuel tank off the bottom of the bilge area a few inches and out of the elements. The hatch setup is nice to get to the tank in the future if and when it fails.

What do people do with the fuel tank coffin if not using it for a fuel tank? With the console and a bench seat over it, that makes it somewhat inaccessible. Looking for ideas.

I need to replace my fuel sender and just wondering if anyone knows the tank depth for the 100 gal tank. I have not removed the original sender yet to measure. Thanks!

Seems the anti-cavitation plate is even with the bottom of the hull so I think it is good.
Also, remember if using a phone to take pics, to hold the phone horizontal with the lens to the left. If you hold the phone vertical, the pictures post like the one above.

Capt. Bob,
Thanks for the info. I tested the solenoid resistance and found it was good, and I replaced the key switch which resolved my issue. Thanks for the info.

I am looking for advice on the way the motor is mounted on mine. Is this a problem? Should I lower it or add a shim or just leave it there? This is the way I received it.   https://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?board=28.0
