[QUOTE="HahnZooKeeper, post: 241808, member: 6693"] Well I picked up a beautiful piece of white oak yesterday to replace the old rotted transom. Call me "Crazy", but I really wanted a solid piece of wood for my transom (not the sandwiched plywood). So I called around and got everything from "We can't do that." to "Sure we can do that for $25 a board foot." But a guy referred me to an Amish sawmill and wow They custom cut a piece of white oak fo me1-1/2"x9-1/4"x 60" for $10. Yeah it's a little moist yet and it's rough cut, but it was $10!!! And it's gonna be beautiful!!! I also picked up a couple of pieces of aluminum for the bow-mount platform yesterday. These are "behind-the-scenes" pieces, but every bit as important. I am also looking for a good deal on carpeting. If anyone has a tip, I would really appreciate it. I'll get some pics as soon as I get a day off [/QUOTE]
