[QUOTE="inlovewithsurfin, post: 270965, member: 9011"] thank you!!! i have a 40lb thrust trolling motor and it pushes my boat pretty quick! id have to guess around 3-4 mph? i bet your boat will fly with a 67lb thrust motor! as far as the left over glue... i would use a scotch bright pad and sand it down with that? same goes for prep on painting too! if your paint isnt peeling i just scuffed mine up with the scotch bright pad and then wiped it down with a wet cloth. once it was dry i spray painted it and so far so good! its not the most durable or perfect paint job. but it looks a ton better than what it did! (obviously there is much better ways to prep/paint your boat but i was in a hurry to get it done :) for my transom i used 3/4in ply wood (non pressure treated) and then added a small piece of 1/2in on the backside just to make it a little thicker. i drilled holes and used carriage bolts to hold the new transom in place. i also used silicone to seal up the new holes i drilled.
