[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 227466, member: 6982"] Yah your piece looks awesome. I have only ever worked with wood, so I am not a little like a fish out of water with all this metal stuff. I wish I had more experience working with it. Got a very little done today. Put some JB weld on the top part of my transom support bracket, where it was cracked a little. And the holes that I miss drilled in the bottom of it I filled with JB as well, to try and fix that. Also put some contact cement in the gaps of the transom board and clamped it again. The next couple days I should be able to push out some more work. Will try to get the transom sealed and installed, vacuum it out and spray paint the inside. Bought the spar urethane today and already have the self etching primer. I have done a lot of thinking trying to figure out if I want to deck from the front to the rear of the middle seat, to the front of the middle seat or just do to the back of the front seat. The other idea I had was to do a high deck to the back of the front seat and then cut out half of the middle seat and do a low deck that goes from the back of the front seat to the front of the rear seat. I just haven't been able to decide on a plan! [/QUOTE]
