[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 236773, member: 6982"] Congrats on your progress and sorry to hear about your motor. I have two things I would be concerned with. 1: The JB weld...it will likely crack. But you know this...hopefully it isn't holes below the water line? 2 (and this is the bigger concern): your transom...you used poplar planks. Planks will be weaker than plywood layers to begin with but then on top of that you have used poplar. Though poplar is technically a hardwood, it is the softest of hardwoods...about as soft as pine. I would be concerned with the strength of this long term... I know it's a little late but thought I should let you know in case you weren't aware of the transom issue so you an at the very least keep a close eye... [/QUOTE]
