SoI just picked up a '79 HPV 165 and I'm pumped to start working on it but I've got some structural questions, any owners here who can help?

For structural stuff, first thing to check is always the transom (where the engine mounts) and then the stringers for any soft spots.
If those are solid, a repower with a modern outboard is your best bet to make it feel brand new!
 
Congrats on the '79 HPV 165! Awesome project boat, so what kind of structural stuff are you running into; stringers, transom, deck? I am happy to help if you can share details.
