[QUOTE="13X, post: 389156, member: 18734"] Moving along at a pretty good pace. More pics to come soon. I created the exterior transom mounts for the motor and TR out of an old oak kitchen cutting board. Being dishwasher safe makes me believe that after sanding it will be fine after a couple of coats of West Marine 2 part epoxy. Question - any thoughts on mounting the oars to the side of the boat when afloat but not in use? I've searched no forum and haven't found a reference to anything like that. Thanks in advance. Question 2 - from what I know about working with wood in exterior applications I've been under the assumption that sealing green wet wood (fresh, but not non-pressure treated) keeps all of the moisture in and increases rot from the inside. Due to cost, I am using standard construction lumber, more than likely pine. My front deck can be removed. Would it be better to keep it off the boat and dry when not in use and seal after the internal moisture has gone in a season? Any thoughts would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
