What size motor would fit this boat? Anyone? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got the new transom out in place and bolted in finally. Bery slow progress on the boat. Really busy summer moving my gf from Kansas to here in Missouri along with transitioning to my new job. I sanded the bottom and have it prepped and ready to get a new bottom! I bought some Fasco super...

I probably won't do a rod locker. More room for storage and I won't be traveling far with this boat. So I might just do the topside straps. The plus side of that is that I can get to them quicker Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got it back from the welder today and it's looking gorgeous! Haven't water tested it yet but I'll probably get that done by this evening. He told me anything I want welded just circle it and he will get it done. Guy was in the sheet metal Union for 20 years he said so I trusted his abilities...

I have a buddy coming over to look at welding the crack for me today. crack was bigger than expected. But still manageable I believe. After everything welded I need to bend the front part of the hull back into shape. I might do that before I weld. Boat is looking really good otherwise...

It's been almost 2 weeks since I posted and update on the boat. I through out my back last week but I still made some headway. I bought some wood and made my transom. It's currently letting the glue settle. I've made a list of things I need to do in order so I don't rush this thing and halfass...

What is the best type of wood to use for a transom? And is it okay to put two pieces together? And if you do can you glue it? You seem to know a lot so I'd thought I'd ask Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where is that first crack at? And the cracks on the sides in the back should be that big of a deal. I'm guessing just from flexing. Make sure if your take out any benches to add more support otherwise you might make them worse. And send pics of the whole boat Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got the transom off. Thought it would be in much worse shape than it actually was. I hope the worst is over because those big rivets would be the death of me. I'll probably start making a new transom this weekend. I prematurely ordered a fish finder so hopefully it'll give me enough...

I like the way you word it! I'm going to find someone to weld it for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure what kind of boat it is. I'll look when I get home. And I plan on removing all the benches and putting a platform on the front and back. Just removing the benches so I can have storage underneath. So how should I fix the crack on the bottom? I'm open for suggestions. And I'll try...

Are they that hard to use? Have you used them? I want to at least give it a shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am just going to weld it. Just bought some rods that'll be here in 2 days to do it. Hopefully I'll have the transom off and at least have it sanded by then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought I've read in the forums that you're not suppose to use jb weld below the waterline but if that'll work I'll do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hopefully it doesn't get worse. Too much torque can push in the bottom of your transom and bend the aluminum supports or crack them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got a little bit further today after work. I took out the back bench because I couldn't get the angle correct when drilling out the rivets. And plus I'm going to redo the back bench anyways. Soo onto some more depressing news. Which is definitely my fault for not filling up the middle part of...

Looking good! Keep the pics coming! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advice! I got some of the rivets out. Enough to take off the top part above the transom. The aluminum piece is cracked on the back so I'll probably just replace it with a whole new piece. Can't wait to get this part over with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My girlfriend made a comment that you two should make videos of her helping you work on things . It'll be another way to bond plus she would love the YouTube attention. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
