1984 polar kraft

[phil6092]

I have been looking through the builds for awhile now. I live in Alabama and mostly fish for catfish. I recently purchased a 1851 polar kraft that I am planning on redoing. I have a few questions about the boat I hope on of the experts here can answer. The bottom of it has ridge down the length of the boat. The previous owner said it was an icebreaker bottom. The other question is how thick should the transom be? He had a 115 on it which was way to big for the boat which ended up putting stress cracks along the top rail. He had already tore out part of the transom on it. I hope some on can answer these questions.

you have to go through the same process every time. its tedious but it does work.

under the "post a reply" field theres an "upload attachment" field.

hit the "choose file" button and select the picture you want to upload. then click "add the file". the page will reload and you will have a button for "place image inline". hit that and the bbcode for the image you uploaded will appear wherever your cursor was in the "post a reply" field.

you have to repeat the choose file, add file, place image inline process for every picture.

These are the ridges under the boat.

Any body know a quick and easy way to remove silicone? It seems like they had the whole transom held together with it.
