[QUOTE="rob, post: 50545, member: 783"] Tonight I started removing the decking and underlying framing. Whomever did the initial installation over engineered this sucker something fierce. I'm guessing that there is easily 200+ lbs of wood on this boat. The boat is only rated at 605lbs (I was able to see the capacity plate after removing the decking)! The transom could be rebuilt. The thing is... I've never done this before. Would ply would be sufficient or should I find a solid wood? If I'm looking at solid wood what should I be looking for? The stern bench seat has some serious abuse. I'm thinking about making plywood bench seat overs though. Regardless... I might want to sell this boat at some point, any tips for repairing the damage? I have pics. I'll post them tonight. I just wanted to get the questions out there without distracting anyone. I am planning on taking her out this weekend for a little bit so I'm looking forward to that. I think after that trip, I'll have a better idea of what I want to do modification wise. I'm already scheming for a 14' or 16' boat though... :P [/QUOTE]
