[QUOTE="JFDBasser, post: 210223, member: 3391"] Starting to pick up some steam again on this project. I got the steelflex on yesterda. Felt like I was painting with maple syrup, but thanks to the info on this board it went alright. Today I was able to get the boards for the transom cut out and stained....they came out nice, now I just need to seal them. It was a pain trying to find wood. I needed 1" thick boards for the transom. I called everywhere around me that sells wood and noone had anything that I was willing to spend the money on. I tried laminating some 1/2" marine plywood, but I wasnt happy with the result. While I was visiting my Dad in TN he set me up with one of his friends from his Fire Dept. that owns a sawmill. The next day I had two perfect pieces of White Oak that was 1 1/8" ran it through the planer of another retired firefighter from my dept. that lives near my Dad and I was in business. It came out pretty good I think....can't wait to get them on the boat. [/QUOTE]
