How do you install motor mounts?

I see alot of hulls for sale that don't include mounts. How do you put them back in? And how do you verify their alignment? I'm always looking for some good deals on a cheap hull but the no motor mounts scares me since I have no clue what all that involves

As far as I know motor mounts are just two bolts a piece. (I'm talking about cars and trucks anyway) I can't see them being difficult.

Ok i guess im thinking its just bare fiberglass where the mounts should be.

you screw them back in. you may need to add shims to align the motor, but those go between the motor mounts and the motor

Super easy. You can even change one motor mount while the motor is still bolted onto the other three. I've done it twice.

I looked at my ski today and now i kinda feel dumb for asking that. I was imagining the spot that you bolt the mounts to being gone and not the mount itself.
