[QUOTE="Holdemhook56, post: 387762, member: 17701"] I got the transom finished up, mounted a set of rod holders, and made a temporary base to strap my battery boxes and gas tank down to. Basically I just cut a piece of 1/2" ply and fixed straps to it and laid it in the back. With the tank and batteries attached to it it was plenty heavy enough to not bounce around. Of course with the whopping 6 mph the boat cruised with the Briggs engine no flipping was going to happen anyway! I sold a friend my 20hp and I'm considering a 73 9.5 evinrude. I have another post on the boat house if anyone would like to give opinions about the engine. Don't know if it will be enough to plane it fully loaded. Had one small leak from a rivet up front that didn't leak a cup in 8 hrs on the lake so I was very happy. Snapped a few pics of the progress and more to come soon. [/QUOTE]
