Floor problem - Any idea?

Ok so I had a chance to go to the boat today. Here are a few pics. The port mounts shown in the pictures don't look like they can be lowered much. Also looked at the beams where they sit on the hull and no rot or sagging there. So I'm leaning towards the theory that the engine stringers might have been replaced at some point and they are higher than the stock ones. Or maybe it was a combination of things: changing the reduction box/transmission, changing the stringers. The engine ended up a few inches forward and a few inches higher.

It was too cold for me to undo the coupling and check the alignment. Maybe that will answer a few questions.

Question: are those mounts standard size?

Not sure why someone stacked 4-5 nuts on these bolts either.
