Every picture ive seen of other boats just like this one, all look the same, i posted some above, I believe the top cap is original

I’m worried that would affect how the splash well and floor corner braces would attach as I don’t want to remove and relocate either piece

I could probably get some sort of jack plate to bolt to the transom that would accommodate all of my motors. I have a 25HP 18HP and 3HP Evinrudes, and a 16HP Oliver I believe it to be original on the outside, at least in design, due to the top cap, and other pictures I have seen online of the...

1” on outside, a hair shy of 1” on inside

I guess that’s one thing I havnt done yet is measure them, I havnt started disassembly, but I can measure thickness at the bottom edges

I can’t remove the wood on the outside of the transom, as it is inside the top cap and the corner gusset. I don’t put the 3 hp on the kicker mount as it’s hard to get to from the rear seat. The trolling motor I put on that mount has a telescoping handle making it easier to use. Here are some...

I have an older two piece hull, 15ft Meyers aluminum boat. The transom wood is soft and I need to replace it. I have a couple questions as Im not sure how to proceed. First questions, most boat transoms are 1 1/2", this one is 2" and doesnt ever look like it's been apart, and the top cap is...

Thanks gunz I like that idea

we currently put the anchor in a bucket most of the time, but then theres a bucket, tackle box, sometimes a gas tank, fish basket, all around their feet, and i have the battery, another bucket with anchor, tackle box, etc all around my feet. Guess i need a bigger boat, just wish i could afford...

After pulling out the mouse nest and foam I am sure it's not original judging by the shoe print on one piece of foam

Here's another pic

So I've got a 15ft Meyers, old enough to not have a data plate, 2 piece hull joined in bottom center and cast aluminum corner gussets. Used to be console steer but controls were taken out and converted to tiller well before I owned it. I have owned since 2012 and am finally tired of vacuuming...

I was also curious if i might be able to somehow convert the middle bench seat into storage? i am not sure if it has foam in it or not, i know theres foam up front but not sure on the other two bench seats, but i was thinking if i could cut a trap door in the top of the seat and hinge it, i...

My motor doesn't have a charging system in it
