I figured I'd take a lot of pics, just in case you want to delve into something like this, you won't be blindsided :mrgreen:
First, we start with a craigslist find...1982 BassTracker lll with a busted transom :shock:
Then we add some cusswords a porta power, and an air chisel :wink:
Then a trip to the local Home Depot for a slice of 23/32" sanded pine, not a marine grade, but it's getting glass'd, so no worries.
Then a trip to the dollar store, because it's close and I needed posterboard. And then an outside traced template, then modified for the inside with the actual measurments, and would you believe it was dead on the first time :shock:
And now, where we're at, just waiting so I can sand the edges to match up and fiberglass. Yeah, don't mind the vice grips, not a lot of clamps around here.
