[QUOTE="Greenhead, post: 491057, member: 31914"] Thanks for the replies. For the tranaom I am gojng ro just replace it as it was origianlly installed. Ill use exterior ply and epoxy. The transom is 1.5" so Ill have to double up 3/4" ply and glue them together with tightbond 3, then epoxy and paint. I do plan to use stainless hardware to install rather than rivets. Ill get a plate for the inside and outside as well. I am also hoping to not need to remove the supports from the floor but wont know til the time comes. Also just planning to go with a 23hp or 25hp motor. For the floor I am looking at rubber stall mat with 1.5" closed cell insulation now. Less work than plywood and about the same weight or a little havier. https://youtu.be/C0PpypzsvjU. There is just something I dont like about walking directly on the floor and ribs. But appreciate the info. I do understand keep it light but am going to add weight one way or the other with a floor. How much is the question.....if aluminum wasnt so expensive Id consider that opition, but I can get the rubber mats and insulation for under 100$ [/QUOTE]
