Does anybody have info/pictures of the bare fiberglass layup Rickter that was translucent? I think it was a Japanese rider..maybe, they where going to put LEDs inside of it but I can't remember where I saw it and can't find it again.
Forget what your parents think, get the Epoxy just for your health...and because it's stronger.
Epoxy resin is known in the marine industry for its incredible toughness and bonding strength. Quality epoxy resins stick to other materials with 2,000-p.s.i. vs. only 500-p.s.i. for vinylester...
It does look like a home job, not too bad IMO, better to not touch the transfers if you don't know what you are doing to them than go in there thinking you know whats up and grinding away based on what you read on the internet.
Looks like a decent job to me, I'd guess it runs better than stock...
It's worth the time to bolt your engine in and try pulling those engine mount pads up off the hull. Not uncommon for the glue to fail that holds them down.
You have to grind a decent amount out of the rideplate to get the 144 in there, I couldn't imagine what would be left after putting a 155 in.
You can also usually cut a slot in the screw head with a small dremel cutting wheel then knock on it with an impact driver. Completely disassemble them and let them sit in a bucket of carb dip for a while.
