[QUOTE="novaman, post: 255706, member: 6585"] Thanks Gillhunter, I'll be happy if it looks anywhere as nice as yours. Since raising the transom involved taking the corner caps off, I decided to make the new one about 3x the size of the originals. I cut and broke .090 alum. sheet to a size that would work for anything I wanted to install on them, cleats, rod holder mounts, nav. light, and enough room for a downrigger. Before they were welded on a channel was cut along the outside of both foam pods to fit wiring and hoses for livewell and bilge. That involved notching the channel across the foam to allow corners to be made, and a cutter wheel on an angle grinder and pliers did just what I needed. I'll make my own livewell to fit on the port side about half way between the existing decks. [/QUOTE]
