Hello, I am new to this forum. This was my project over the summer. It's a 1970 Duracraft.
Enjoy and feel free to comment.

Looks good, I wish I could find an outboard like that.

I've read that you don't wanna use treated wood with a tin boat because of the high copper content.
 
I used a piece of aluminum 1/4" thick & wide enough to mount transducer on.I just fastened on the top so no holes where below the water line.

Nice job on your tin & welcome aboard =D>
 
I used standared 3\4 plywood and put about 4 coats of spar urathane on the wood.
 
I used a piece of composite.

Nice job! I used a plastic mounting plate (purchased from Cabela's) to mount my transducer.
