[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 448248, member: 13140"] Very cool boat! Look for evidence of holes drilled to indicate if it originally came with a wood transom plate. Home Depot type places have really nice cabinet grade plywood for your seats or just hit the old ones with a sander and paint them depending on rot. They are probably bolted down. Go to your local nut and bolt speciality store and buy new stainless hardware in boxes of a hundred to save money. Antiseize compound is your freind on stainless or they gall up and won't go on. Your transom may be fine with a 9.5 so unless it's really weak then use it as is. Whatever you do do not used any pressure treated wood. It all has copper in it and it will corrode holes thru your aluminum. The 9.5 is one of my favorite engines. Post up of it does not run perfect on your boat. Your gonna love that thing as a first boat! [/QUOTE]
