[QUOTE="rcaircraftnut, post: 462070, member: 24380"] Got the engine off this evening after work. Stared removing the transom. Got the little cast caps off. All the rivits on the top are gone. Welds are cut. Next is to remove the rest of the rivits and get the splashwell out. Then the rotted sponge, er um wood out haha. Will have to see how bad I buggered the cap rail on the first side figuring out where to cut the weld, but the second side was cake. Not a difficult job at all for someone with good mechanical and metalworking skills. Thanks all for the advice as well as the encouragement. Its KILLING me not being on the water rite now. Finally having a boat to fish from and it not being done is mighty irritating mmm hmmm. Lol. So I plan to do this in as fast a time frame as possible. Problem is I have limited time and money so I need to decide now what the modifications will be so as not to be backtracking. I want to move the livewells into a single livewell in the stern. I want a recessed pedal for my trolling motor. I want tackle storage bins with dry hatches in the bow. And I want more rod storage. The challenge is to see how much of it I can cram into this little boat in a limited time frame. [/QUOTE]
