I inherited a Nautiline 43 from my dad recently. He repaired the starboard side hump but never started or even looked into the engine room where I found the rot. The boat is on the Toledo Bend res. where there's no close by repairshops or even haulouts, I can however get a trailer to haulout at my marina (Huxley). So I have 2 questions, 1 can I even safely run the 2 big block motors at displacement speeds safely without sinking the boat & 2 can a carpenter/housebuilder build a new transom and any suggestion on information on how to do it. &nb sp;

Thanks
