[QUOTE="Patsway, post: 351109, member: 13994"] Thanks Bobsbaits I appreciate the response. This has been a slow process so far. I will be glad when I finally get the transom back together. I will feel like I am getting somewhere then. I have seen where some people are using metal framing studs instead of wood for the deck extension. I have had no luck finding the right studs at Lowes or Depot, seems they do not sell anymore. If I use wood studs, what is the best to use, 2x4's treated with Spar or can you use 1x1's to save on the weight? Also could someone help me with the proper steps for putting the boat back together? My father in law will be wiring everything back for me and installing the motor and steering. should I go ahead and put in the floor and decks before that happens or will it get in his way? Also I am wanting to paint the top half of the sides of the boat. anyone have any good ideas on that process? Again, thanks for everyone's help with this project. I am truly learning as I go I will try to post more pictures as I start to put things back together if anyone is interested [/QUOTE]
