[QUOTE="haolehawaiian, post: 202851, member: 5965"] Ok...limited on funds at the very moment. Plus I'm waiting for sawhorses... So I did pull off the transom and rear carry handles. I'm taking the suggestion on beefing up the transom so the wood is going from .5cm to 1.5cm. Also making the surface area a bit larger as well. Lowes didn't have 1x4 inch planks for the inner transom...every one that said 1 inch was actually only 3/4 inch. WTF? Ended up settling for two half inch planks that are currently clamped together awaiting drying gorilla glue. haven't decided if they will need more reinforcement to stay together but I think between the glue and the bolts going thru from the carry handles - they'll be fine. So I started cutting out the new transom but my stupid little B&D saw ran outta juice so now I'm here. The last pic is pretty bad but hopefully you can see the difference in thickness between the old and new transoms. [/QUOTE]
